Hong Kong mainland visitor numbers unlikely to 'reach pre-pandemic levels in next 2 years'

Quick Summary:

The number of mainland Chinese visitors coming to Hong Kong is unlikely to recover to pre-pandemic levels in the next two years despite a rising trend of tour groups and individuals travelling to the city, according to a trade body.

Yeung said individuals who were not university graduates were required to complete a six- to eight-week course and pass an exam before obtaining a tour guide licence.

Yeung also said the coming Kai Tak Sports Park, which is set to open next year, could drive the use of the nearby cruise terminal for disembarked passengers to attend concerts and other events, creating a synergistic effect.
