Report on Tourism in Hong Kong

1. Introduction The last decade has witnessed a series of significant transitions and developments in the tourism industry of Hong Kong. It seems essential for us to reframe our tourist base and redefine the scope of services to which are provid ed. To this end, the Administrative Department has been investigating the current market of inbound travelling.

This report presents our findings in areas including the source of international tourists, the visitors' spending habits and length of stay as well as their expectations on the future travelling experience in the city.

2. Procedure The reported data are collected principally from interviews with tourists and on-site investigation s at major hotels. The interviews involved 2,000 visitors who stayed at Hong Kong between July and August 2010. A total of 50 hotels located in different territories are selected for information gathering. Newspaper reports have also been referred to in the relevant analyses.

Overall good.
