Chief Executive John Lee announced on Tuesday that preparatory work is underway for the upcoming Golden Week holiday to ensure visitors have a pleasant experience in the SAR. A real-name reservation trial scheme at Po Pin Chau trail in Sai Kung East Country Park went smoothly during the first weekend and is expected to accommodate more visitors during the holiday.
The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department will increase manpower to promote environmental protection, proper waste disposal, and maintaining order. Given that many visitors will be using the registration system for the first time, the department will provide assistance. The Travel Industry Authority revoked the licences of two travel agencies and a tour guide for forced shopping, emphasizing that misconduct by agencies, tour guides, and shops would damage Hong Kong’s tourism sector reputation.
Lee urged society to adopt a welcoming and courteous attitude towards tourists, as it is crucial for the tourism industry and an opportunity for the city to showcase its hospitality. The Tourism Board will enhance information dissemination on the holiday period, including boundary crossings, waiting times, and opening hours of popular attractions and transportation.
