Hong Kong, October 31, 2023 — The flourishing tourism industry in Hong Kong is inseparable from the strong support of the country, emphasized Kenneth Fok Kai-kong, a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress (NPC), during a session on Tuesday.
"The supportive measures from the country play a very significant role in the development of Hong Kong's tourism," said Fok. He highlighted that the collaboration between Hong Kong and the mainland has been instrumental in revitalizing the city's tourism sector, especially in the aftermath of global challenges.
Fok underscored the importance of continued cooperation and integration with the mainland to sustain growth and enhance the global appeal of Hong Kong as a premier tourist destination. "Hong Kong's unique position as a bridge between the East and the West is strengthened by the country's backing," he added.
The NPC deputy called for leveraging national initiatives to further enrich the city's cultural and economic landscape, attracting visitors and investors from around the world. He advocated for more joint efforts to promote tourism exchanges and develop innovative strategies that align with broader national development plans.
Hong Kong's tourism industry has seen a resurgence, owing much to policies and support from the country that facilitate travel, cultural exchange, and business opportunities. Fok's remarks reflect a commitment to deepening ties and maximizing the benefits of national support for Hong Kong's continued prosperity.
