Hong Kong and Macao Sudden Search
Hong Kong and Mainland China resumed clearance on Sunday (January 8).Applying the classic dialect that the American astronaut Armzon in the 1960s in the 1960s, this day is a small step for 120,000 people to come and go Lugang, but it is a big step for the two places.Very important.
The operation of Hong Kong's shores on the first day of the customs clearance was roughly smooth, which led the officials of the SAR government to let go of their hearts.The only surprising thing is that the number of people in the south of the mainland to Hong Kong is far less expected.As of 8 o'clock that night, it was only 13,336 people entering the airport's entry and exit of the airport. Compared with the 35,000 people from the outbound, it was more than 1.6 times different from the exit.
Some Hong Kong reporters ran at noon on the same day to the concentrated land of mainland China -the water areas of the New Territory. They also found that the market was quiet and there was no significant increase in people.Earlier, the person in charge of the pharmacy who would add goods to respond to the tide of mainland guests. Most of the business, most of them were local customers who came to apply for annual goods.
The Hong Kong hotel industry has not benefited much on the first day of customs clearance.According to industry insiders, the reservation and inquiry of hotel rooms have not increased recently. It is estimated that it will not rise significantly during the Lunar New Year. I believe that it will gradually recover at least half a year.
On the first day of customs clearance of the two places in Lugang, why did the mainland travelers go south south not seen?
According to some Hong Kong media analysis, this may be related to the lagging of endorsements in the mainland.Although the mainland government announced earlier that the two places were restored to the two places, some large cities can only be handled through artificial windows, that is, at least seven working days can still be handled, which means that many mainlanders even if they want to travel to Hong Kong, they will also travel, and they also want to travel to Hong Kong.It will not be able to leave this week.
If you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to see that behind the mainlanders who go south of Hong Kong are not hot, to some extent, the mainlanders' mentality and consumption model will change due to the after -extent.
I remember that friends who have heard of the prison have shared some stories: the life of prison is arduous. When most prisoners just entered prison, they couldn't wait to leave this "hell" earlier;Later, he was not adapted to normal social life, and wanted to return to prison to serve in prison.
In the past three years, the people of the mainland have been unable to visit overseas due to the epidemic, and they have been looking forward to fully unblocked. Many people can't wait to travel to foreign countries.However, due to long -term trapped, and the early mainland epidemic was too serious, many people did not dare to walk around in the short term.Compared to Hong Kong people who return to their hometown to visit relatives, they may wish to go back for a while when they go to Hong Kong.
The three -year epidemic closing has also changed the living habits of many people. In the past, they liked to buy foreign goods directly overseas, and now they have changed to choose online shopping.
In the early years, Hong Kong society has gradually purchased online.After the outbreak of the epidemic in the first half of last year, Hong Kong Customs adopted various epidemic prevention measures to control the epidemic, which led to the unable to operate normally from the mainland to Hong Kong.As a result, many Hong Kong people tend to buy daily necessities online, which also gives birth to a new community group purchase model, that is, buying takeaway foods in the mainland in Hong Kong, and then arranging express delivery to Hong Kong.
In the middle of last year, I joined some group purchase groups with hundreds of people.Everyone can place an order in the group, and after delivery, some designated self -lifting points to Hong Kong will be extracted.These takeaway foods come from some popular restaurants consumed by Hong Kong people north to Shenzhen.Although the price of group purchase is high, it is not worth it for everyone to taste it for themselves. Everyone feels that it is also worth it.
In recent days, Lugang has begun to resume customs clearance. I once thought that this consumption model would end; unexpectedly, recently, I found that some netizens continued to patronize.According to them, they are very satisfied with this online shopping delivery service, and they will continue to use after the epidemic.
Some mainlanders also have similar mentality.As the logistics costs of the two places are getting lower and lower, the freight is very cheap, and many mainlanders have changed to buy Hong Kong goods online.Even if the epidemic is over, as long as the logistics cost does not increase, some people may continue to buy Hong Kong goods online instead of spending time to go to Hong Kong to shop.
Of course, with the clearing of the two places in the landing and ports, the above -mentioned consumption models of mainlanders will slowly change. It is estimated that many people will go to Hong Kong to travel and shopping in the future.What is worrying is that whether Hong Kong's former shopping paradise is attractive to mainlanders?
Once upon a time, the mainlanders had eager to go to Hong Kong to fight.However, since 2012, there have been many discordant incidents between Hong Kong people and the mainlanders. Hong Kong people scoffed at the mainlanders and have a poor service attitude, causing many mainland netizens to resent and traveled to Hong Kong.
Before the outbreak of the crown disease in 2020, the tourist destinations of mainland tourists have been diversified, and they are more inclined to travel directly to South Korea, Japan, Europe and the United States outside Hong Kong.Hong Kong is becoming more and more difficult to attract the "big gold master" from the mainland.
With the gradual recovery of the landing and port, do mainlanders still like to go shopping in Hong Kong after three years?Judging from the market conditions in the past two days, it seems not very optimistic.The Hong Kong Government's tourism department may consider traveling to major cities in the mainland as soon as possible, telling the story of Hong Kong and attracting mainlanders to travel to Hong Kong.
