What's On

Tourism is a key industry for the city, contributing to economic growth and creating jobs. However, there are concerns about increasing competition from neighbouring cities and Hong Kong residents traveling elsewhere for leisure.

The Government has announced measures to bring mega events to Hong Kong, such as sports tournaments, music festivals and international conferences, to stimulate business activity, spur consumption and generate economic benefits. Besides mega events and other tourist attractions, what other strategies could attract industry leaders from around the world to witness Hong Kong's vibrancy and actual situation firsthand?

Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Kevin Yeung will discuss these and other issues at the Chamber's "Town Hall Forum Series" on 4 October. He will also explain the Government's plan to promote the tourism industry and solidify Hong Kong's status as Asia's events capital. Seats are limited, so book early to secure your spot for the opportunity to share your views with the Secretary in person.
