| Details: | HKTB Chairman Welcomes HKSAR Government’s Report on Hong Kong’s Business Environment Advancing Tourism Development and Deepening International Exchange
In response to the HKSAR Government’s release today (30 July) of the latest Report on Hong Kong’s Business Environment, Dr. Peter Lam, Chairman of the Hong Kong Tourism Board
Dr. Lam said, “The Report on Hong Kong’s Business Environment clearly outlines Hong Kong’s unique advantages of being backed by the Mainland while connected to the world. These strengths are pivotal for Hong Kong in attracting large-scale meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) events to the city, drawing high-value visitors; tapping into emerging markets such as the Middle East and ASEAN to foster cultural exchange; promoting world-class events to enrich visitor experiences; and advancing multi-destination travel in collaboration with other cities in the Greater Bay Area to leverage complementary strengths.”
Dr. Lam added, “Hong Kong recorded 24 million visitor arrivals in the first half of 2025, representing a 12% increase compared to the same period last year. Among them, non-Mainland visitors grew by 17% to reach 5.84 million. The HKTB will continue to build on this positive momentum and fully leverage and promote Hong Kong’s unique strengths by launching various promotional campaigns to attract visitors, drive tourism development, and reinforce Hong Kong’s important role in deepening international exchange.”
