forthe tourism industry”

That, given the year-on-year increase in the number of inbound tourists, Hong Kong’s ancillary facilities in respect of scenic spots, hotels, transport, shopping and control points, etc., have obviously become insufficient, thus hindering economic development and affecting people’s daily lives; in this connection, this Council urges the Government to formulate long-term planning for the tourism industry to alleviate the pressure on traditionally popular tourism districts, raise the visitor carrying capacity, and promote the sustainable development of the tourism industry.
