Anticipated uptick could see the city once again return to peak levels recorded in 2018, when the tally reached 1.52 million
Hong Kong can expect 1.5 million mainland Chinese visitors over the National Day “golden week” break, a 10 per cent rise from last year, a tourism industry leader has said, with the city set to offer celebratory discounts, ranging from transport to movie tickets, for the occasion.
The anticipated uptick could see the city once again return to peak levels recorded in 2018, when the tally reached 1.52 million.
Tommy Tam Kwong-shun, chairman of the Travel Industry Council, also said on Tuesday that about 1,300 tour groups consisting of around 45,000 mainland visitors were expected to visit the city from October 1 to 8.
He noted that the extended holiday on the mainland would last for eight days this year, a day longer than usual.
