The Working Group on Developing Tourist Hotspots, led by Deputy Chief Secretary Cheuk Wing-hing, held its first meeting today to discuss how to identify and develop tourist hotspots of high popularity and with strong appeal in various districts.
Hong Kong is a cosmopolitan city endowed with a wealth of tourism resources, including cuisines, district characteristics, Victoria Harbour shorelines, film and television culture, and historic buildings, Mr Cheuk pointed out.
During the meeting, the working group talked about the prerequisites for tourist hotspots, such as whether they have Hong Kong characteristics, the potential to attract both locals and tourists, and room for developing necessary transportation and ancillary facilities.
Mr Cheuk said: âThe working group will collect views and suggestions on tourist hotspots through the 18 District Offices and select suitable projects for development.
âWe will seek views and gather opinions from the 18 districts and various sectors of the community to develop innovative, appealing and executable projects. We will then consolidate resources and efforts from the community to take forward the projects to put into practice the goal of âtourism is everywhere in Hong Kongâ.â
Within six months, the working group will identify the projects to be undertaken, along with a timeline for implementation and major tasks to be carried out, he added.
