Policy Address

Develop Cruise Tourism

190. Hong Kong's cruise tourism continues to thrive, with an anticipated increase of about 20% this year in the number of ship calls to Hong Kong compared with last year. Following an ongoing review of the terms and conditions of the tenancy agreement to boost the appeal and competitiveness of the terminal, the CSTB will begin a tender exercise for the operator of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal by the end of this year.

Develop "Ecology + Tourism"

191. The Government will launch the "Four Peaks" tourism project proposed by the Working Group on Developing Tourist Hotspots and improve facilities in country parks. In addition, it will construct new facilities such as a tree-top adventure, an open museum of historical relics, and novel campsites.

192. We will also explore suitable means to connect rural attractions such as traditional villages and fields, ancestral halls and study halls, as well as folk activities etc., enriching visitors' experience of rural eco-tours through strolling and cycling.
