Most of the Hong Kong epidemic prevention measures have been relaxed, but the number of entry passengers is still far less than before the crown disease epidemic.It is reported that the SAR government will announce the arrangements for 500,000 air tickets and distribution shopping vouchers to attract passengers to visit Hong Kong on Thursday (February 2) to attract passengers.
Some people interviewed in the tourism industry believe that Hong Kong is still a popular tourist city in Asia after the three -year epidemic, and relevant measures can attract more foreign tourists to visit Hong Kong.
Comprehensive Sing Tao Daily and "Hong Kong 01" reported that the last chief executive Lin Zhengyue said in 2020 that the Airport Administration will purchase 500,000 time tickets from four local airlines to assist airlines in the outbreak.There are more cash turnover and prepare for the promotion of Hong Kong in the future.
Yang Runxiong, director of the Cultural and Sports and Tourism Bureau of the Hong Kong Government recently, also said that the current gap between the number of travelers in Hong Kong and the pre -epidemic is far from the study.
Sources pointed out that the Hong Kong government will announce the arrangement of 500,000 air tickets within this week, and the details of the press conference will be held on Thursday.It is understood that related air tickets mainly benefit from visiting Hong Kong to attract them to consume in Hong Kong.
In addition to air tickets, the Hong Kong Tourism Development Bureau will also send "passenger shopping vouchers" to stimulate visitors to visit Hong Kong.
Tourist officials: The air ticket is a short -distance line to attract Japanese and South Korean Southeast Asia passengers
Although the Hong Kong Government had previously encouraged citizens to send 60,000 air tickets when vaccines, the Hong Kong Airport Authority bought more than 500,000 copies at that time, and there were still about 500,000 copies after deduction.This round will also benefit Hong Kong residents, and then have the opportunity to get free tickets.
Yao Bailiang, a member of the Legislative Council of the Tourism Circles, said that the ticket is mainly used to attract passengers.According to his understanding, air tickets are short -distance lines to attract Japanese, South Korea, and Southeast Asian passengers.
Yao Bailiang said that it is understood that the Hong Kong Travel Development Agency has always had discussions with restaurants, bars, etc. I believe that related coupons will be sent to passengers.He believes that Hong Kong itself is already attractive. Related measures are icing on the cake and will have a boosting effect.
Cui Dingbang, the director of the Hong Kong Tourism Promotion Association, also believed that in the United Morning Post, it also believed that earlier Hong Kong and Macao customs clearance, the Macau Tourism Bureau launched a discount. Hong Kong residents arrived in Macau overnight.People travel to Macau.He believes that the Hong Kong Government's tickets and "passenger shopping vouchers" can also attract many foreign passengers to visit Hong Kong.
Cui Dingbang pointed out that although Hong Kong has experienced the 2019 social movement and the three -year epidemic, it is still a popular tourist city in Asia.As long as the Hong Kong Government has increased publicity, the number of travelers visiting Hong Kong will increase slowly. At present, the problem is that the aviation industry has not fully recovered, and some passengers are not convenient to come to Hong Kong.
Data show that after Hong Kong gradually relaxed the entry quarantine measures at the end of September last year, the number of tourists visiting Hong Kong has gradually increased. Until November last year, only more than 110,000 people visited Hong Kong. Compared with the epidemic, there was a large distance from the epidemic.
In addition, 55.91 million passengers came to Hong Kong before the epidemic in 2019, with an average of 153,000 daily, of which 78.3%of mainland Chinese tourists accounted for 78.3%.According to the number of Hong Kong Entry Office, within the five days from New Year's Eve to the Fourth New Year's Day this year, the average daily average of 23,000 passengers in Hong Kong will be deducted from Hong Kong residents, reflecting that Hong Kong has exempted from entry and exit restrictions with overseas and mainland China in recent months.The number of travelers in Hong Kong is far from returning to the pre -epidemic level.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao stated on Tuesday that he is studying the cancellation of epidemic prevention restrictions on overseas visitors, including vaccination and fast test requirements.In addition, the Hong Kong Government and the mainland government also discussed during the Spring Festival. He was confident that he could quickly reach a full level of customs clearance in the two places, and soon had good news to announce, including cancellation of nucleic acid detection, increasing the number of ports, and canceling quotas.
However, as Hong Kong gradually moved towards recovery, four of the six government expert consultants have recently stated that they have supported the establishment of the committee to review the performance of the epidemic.However, Li Jiachao stated that he did not agree with an independent investigation of the epidemic, because there were different situations around the world, and there was no recognized best or standard plan.
