Develop "Mega Events + Tourism"

187. We will attract visitors to extend their stay in Hong Kong and revisit again by interweaving an array of cultural festivals, tourism projects and mega events, promoting the development of "mega events + tourism".

188. Hong Kong Disneyland will upgrade its facilities upon its 20th anniversary this year. The Government will also continue to lead Ocean Park's collaboration with the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) in rolling out more themed events and products to sustain the craze for giant pandas. With next year being the Year of the Horse, the HKJC will organise celebrations and performances under the theme of horse to promote horse-racing tourism.

189. To support the hosting of mega events, the Fire Services Department will introduce a facilitation measure for the Temporary Place of Public Entertainment Licence by conducting compliance inspections of fire safety requirement via video conferencing for venues with lower safety risks.
