After Hong Kong and mainland China resumed a full customs clearance, the low -cost travel groups in Hong Kong have appeared again for many years, affecting Hong Kong people's lives and mainland passenger experience.The Chief Executive Li Jiachao promised on Tuesday (March 28) that the relevant departments would formulate measures to deal with the problems as soon as possible.
Li Jiachao pointed out before attending the Executive Meeting on Tuesday that Hong Kong must fight for the economy after the customs clearance, which is currently "re -elementary".Hong Kong has always been an open and inclusive city. Passengers are welcome to come. Passengers have important economic benefits and employment opportunities brought by Hong Kong.
Li Jiachao emphasized that the most important thing now is to do good job in power and management, and have good planning, measures and management systems for travel groups in Hong Kong.The Cultural and Sports and Tourism Bureau and the Tourism Supervision Bureau should put forward good methods to work hard to deal with the problems brought by passengers for the community, so that the tourism industry will continue to develop, and passengers have a good experience.

Therefore, for the management of travel groups, we must have good planning, good measures, and management systems.The departments, including the Cultural and Sports and Tourism Bureau and the Travel Supervision Bureau must work hard to deal with the community traffic congestion problems. "
Hong Kong and the mainland have been closed for three years due to the epidemic.As the two places have fully resumed customs clearance, passengers who went to Hong Kong for more than a month have continued to increase, but the restaurants that have operated the mainland travel group meals before the epidemic have closed down. Some travel agencies have to arrange passengers to eat or eat on the streets.Internal residents constitute a nourishment and affect the image of Hong Kong.
Yang Yongjie, a member of the Legislative Council of the Direct Election Communist Party of Kowloon, pointed out on Tuesday that recently mainland tourists have come back, and traffic jams have appeared again in the area of Hongyu and Tugua Bay.Chong'an Street lined up and waited for meals.Due to the narrow roads in the district and only one -line driving, the relevant situation seriously affects residents' lives and transportation.
He believes that even if the industry diverts passengers to other regions, it is necessary to properly control the number of passengers, especially the meal arrangements, and urge the Travel Supervision Bureau to review and improve the reception capacity and improve the passenger experience.
Fang Anni, president of the Hong Kong Tourism Regulatory Bureau, said in a response that there were mainland customers to eat on the street earlier.Eat for breakfast and buy a lunch box under the leader of the tour guide.
Fang Anni pointed out that understanding that the incident is not good -looking in the perception, but the tour guide has a proper care of the passengers and has no violations. It is understood that the bureau has not received passenger complaints. The travel agencies involved have stated that they will not repeat the same mistakes.
A large number of passengers gathered in the area of Hongyu and Tugua Bay, which caused road obstruction. Fang Anni said that there are two restaurants in the district for group meals. In order to avoid affecting the lives of residents, the restaurant will consider setting up a reservation system for the entry group.The group friends should wait on the tourist bus during the meal.She emphasized that not wanting passengers to influence people's livelihood, encourage travel agencies to coordinate their journey, and divert passengers to other regions.The Tourism Supervision Bureau has met with the government to assist in coordinating.
It is understood that the tourism industry recommends that in the area other than Tugua Bay, including the Tsim which Tourist Area, a dining restaurant is opened. It stipulates that the tour group should make an appointment and explore cooperation with the shipping company to arrange for the group members to eat on the ship.
Folk Think Tank: It should attract more high -consumer passengers to visit Hong Kong
Dr. Zhou Bozhan, president of the "Xiangjiang Zhihui" of the Civil Think Tank "Xiangjiang Zhihui", said in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that in recent years, he had been popular in Hong Kong for "low -cost tour groups" or even "zero group fees tour groups". These tour groups were in Hong KongEconomic value is not great, and forcing mainland tourists to shop in Hong Kong affects Hong Kong's reputation.Unexpectedly, the two places cleared the level, and the relevant issues appeared again.He said: "There is no trivial matter for people's livelihood, and the official must resolve it as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause folk contradictions in the two places of Lugang again."
Zhou Bozhan believes that in order to promote the healthy development of the tourism industry in Hong Kong, the tourism industry should be self -disciplined to avoid launching "low -cost travel groups".The Hong Kong government should also promote the development of high -quality tourism and attract more high -consumption passengers to visit Hong Kong.
