However, when a cruise ship came to Hong Kong last week, there was a serious insufficiency of traffic connection services, causing strong dissatisfaction with passengers.Some interviewees believe that the incident reflects the decline in the competitiveness of Hong Kong's tourism industry, and officials need to review and improve.
With the end of the crown disease, global cruise tourism is gradually recovering this year. Last week, two cruise ships visited Hong Kong and berth at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal.Among them, the "Ocean Spectrum" who arrived in Hong Kong last Friday (August 4), passengers have been in the Dest Station for many hours.Last Sunday, another cruise ship with Hong Kong as his home port "Famous World One" arrived in Hong Kong for seven hours, and a large number of tourists such as visitors such as Dexai.Although there are five bus lines in the dock, most of them drive a bus every half an hour.Some passengers criticize the bus class and do not understand why they are waiting for the Delta for 30 to 40 minutes.The Hong Kong Tourism Affairs Office, the Transport Department, the Pier operator and the Tourism Development Bureau had a rapid meeting on Tuesday and announced that the traffic arrangements for strengthening the cruise ship will be strengthened on Wednesday, including arranging a special bus route, providing free services to go to and from cruise terminals and enlightenment.The German Railway Station, as well as three free shuttle bus route services, round -trip cruise terminals and popular tourist locations, including Tsim Sha Tsui Tianxing Wharf and West Kowloon Cultural Area.In addition, the Delta, which arrives at the cruise terminal, can also receive oil and gas cash coupons worth 50 Hong Kong dollars (about S $ 8.6).Comprehensive Hong Kong media reported that at about 9 am on Wednesday (August 9), a cruise ship was on the shore at Kai Tak Cruise Pier.Passengers take a free shuttle bus, and passengers do not need to wait.Ms. Ye, who had taken a cruise ship before the epidemic, pointed out that the number of Desz and free buses on Wednesday increased, and became "car and other people", which improved.However, Ms. Yang, a passenger from Taiwan, believes that the free shuttle bus efficiency is poor, and there is only a bus half an hour.She also criticized the arrangement of chaos, saying that she had originally planned to take a free shuttle bus to the urban area, but was forced to divide two cars with two friends because the bus was full.Mr. Mo Mo, a Dushi driver, pointed out that because there are a large number of Delta "waiting" in the dock, he waited for about an hour and had not successfully carried passengers, reflecting: "I will not come next time, and I will send 50 Hong Kong dollars of oil and gas cash coupons.Come. "Yang Runxiong, director of the Hong Kong Cultural and Sports and Tourism Bureau, visited the scene on Wednesday morning and communicated with the Delta driver to assist passengers to carry luggage.He believes that the traffic is roughly smooth after the implementation of the new arrangement, and measures will be fine -tuned in time in the future.Yang Runxiong pointed out that when the Hong Kong government designed Kai Tak Pier 10 years ago, it was mainly used as a place for tourists to go and off the ship. The goal was not built as a shopping mall.With the current development of the Kai Tak District, it is time to re -examine the positioning of the pier in the district and the need to improve.Li Zhaobo, a honorary teaching and research person in the Asia -Pacific Industry and Commerce Institute of Business School of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, was interviewed by Lianhe Morning Post that Hong Kong's tourism industry almost stopped during the period in the past three years. After the rest of this year, the industry could not respond for a while.EssenceHe believes that the problem of traffic arrangements can be solved quickly, but the decline in the tourism industry in Hong Kong needs to pay more attention.Li Zhaobo pointed out that in recent years, hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong people have moved to overseas, and the tourism industry has a serious insufficiency and the level of service has decreased. In addition, the renminbi depreciation, the cause of the people in mainland China to consume in Hong Kong has decreased.The Hong Kong Government should think about how to plan and packaging tourism to attract tourists.
