I believe that because the epidemic is just over, many people tend to sign up for a day trip or short -term group groupEssenceHowever, he pointed out that the current number of passengers in Hong Kong has only returned to half of the epidemic, and cheap groups can help tour guides and tourist bus drivers employment. They cannot give up because of some problems. The most important thing is regulatory quality and regulatory operations.
