The Christmas holiday just passed, a large number of Hong Kong people traveled north to travel, and the number of people far exceeding the Chinese mainland Chinese tourists in the south, so that the business business in Hong Kong's consumer industry was not ideal.The Hong Kong diet and retail industry has called on the Hong Kong Government to make a countermeasure to attract more passengers to visit Hong Kong.

Christmas is the traditional peak season of Hong Kong's tourism industry, but Hong Kong people will consume in the north after the epidemic, and this Christmas holiday this year is no exception.Data from the Hong Kong Immigration Department show that the number of entry and exit from December 23rd to 25th has exceeded one million in three consecutive days, reaching 1.07 million, 1.05 million and 1.02 million, respectively.On December 26, Hong Kong's entry peak. A total of more than 940,000 people went to the country on the same day, of which more than 600,000 people entered the country with 340,000 outbound people.

Comprehensive calculation of the four -day Christmas holiday, more than 2.1 million outbound people in Hong Kong, of which more than 70 % are Hong Kong residents, and visitors from mainland China and other regions in Hong Kong.

According to the joint observation of Lianhe Morning Post reporters, the food and leisure hotspots in various districts in Hong Kong are quite deserted during the Christmas holiday.Taking Tsim Sha Tsui in the traditional tourist area as an example, various local restaurants have been standing. In the past, they will be full of seats. However, recently, the seating rate of some restaurants has a low entry rate, and often only half of the seat rate.

Huang Jiahe Huang Jiahe, the president of the Hong Kong Catering Union Association, also took the business of the Ping An Night Catering Industry as an example. It said that many hotels had to book two to three weeks in the past, but this year did not need to book.

The data released by the Hong Kong Film Association on Wednesday (December 27) also shows that the total revenue of Hong Kong cinema at the Christmas period is only 19.59 million Hong Kong dollars (S $ 3.32 million). Compared with more than 32 million Hong Kong dollars in the same period last year,Full of more than 40 %, setting a new low in nearly 20 years.

The Association pointed out that the Christmas holiday is an important golden period for Hong Kong theaters. This year, the box office plunge reflects the continued downturn in the consumption of the Hong Kong film industry. The business and the theater industry have grim business, and it is very difficult to operate. The situation is worrying.

Facing the weak consumer market, Hong Kong society has made suggestions.The Hong Kong Grand Daily visited 30 Legislative Council members on Wednesday to understand their views on the local service industry.The results showed that 70 % of Members agreed to the quality of the local service industry decreased compared to the past after restoring the customs clearance; 60 % of Members believed that restaurants had poor attitude.All parliamentarians in favor of the Hong Kong Government's launch of the "polite movement" in Hong Kong, enhance the way of hospitality in Hong Kong, and allow tourists to return to home.

Sing Tao Daily also quoted a representative of a Hong Kong District National People's Congress that the Hong Kong Government should restore the "one signature and multi -line" arrangement of Shenzhen household registration residents, that is, the annual endorsement arrangements for multiple entry in Hong Kong for one year, so that Shenzhen residents will spend in Hong Kong for consumption.It is more convenient and even expands this arrangement to all Greater Bay areas, but the premise is that Hong Kong must do well and improve the reception capacity.

The Hong Kong Tourism Development Bureau announced on Wednesday that it will hold a New Year's endless fireworks music show on the eve of New Year's Day (December 31).The theme of the show is "New Year's New Legend", which is the longest and largest New Year fireworks music show.At that time, the fireworks will span the Central to the North Point, with a width of 1,300 meters. Five fireworks will be distributed in the front and rear angles, which takes about 12 minutes.

Cheng Dingyi, director of the Hong Kong Tourism and Development Bureau, pointed out that the countdown of the New Year in Hong Kong is the most eye -catching New Year's Eve in the Asian region. It is believed that it can show the unique charm of Hong Kong to the world.

However, the Hong Kong Newspaper quoted people in the political circle on Wednesday that the Chief Executive Li Jiachao said that before the epidemic, Hong Kong people had liked to travel during the holidays.Located in Hong Kong consumption, It is quite important Essence

Li Zhaobo, a honorary teaching and research person in the Institute of Asia -Pacific Business, Chinese University of Business, said in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao that this year's tourism industry in Hong Kong is facing development dilemma, which is mainly related to the high land prices in Hong Kong.Due to the expensive land rent, the rent of the store is also high. Compared with neighboring areas such as Guangdong, the price of Hong Kong goods is at least 200 % more expensive. Many mainland tourists are naturally unwilling to come to Hong Kong for consumption.

Li Zhaobo believes that the current tourism industry in Hong Kong is facing structural problems and is difficult to solve in the short term. If Hong Kong wants to attract passengers, the only thing that can do is develop some tourist attractions that do not have.
