Celebrations include National Day fireworks as well as discounts and perks covering public transport, museums, dining and shopping
Hong Kong kicked off National Day “golden week” celebrations on Tuesday with two People’s Liberation Army (PLA) warships thrilling onlookers at Victoria Harbour and the catering sector betting on a business bump of up to 20 per cent amid a raft of festivities in the city.
Michael Leung Chun-wah, chairman of the Association for Hong Kong Catering Services Management, gave the upbeat forecast as about 4,000 restaurants – the highest number in three years – had joined its campaign to offer a 30 per cent discount for dine-in customers.
“This year’s golden week is special as it lasts for eight days instead of seven while it also overlaps the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the celebrations are double,” he said.
