Hong Kong tourism heading for a decline

The executive director of the Travel Industry Council since 1997 has pointed out that the recent drop in mainland visitors to Hong Kong can be attributed to the tension between Hong Kongers and the mainlanders.

Hong Kong badly lost out on its mainland tourists this year as the numbers dwindled in the first five days of the Lunar New Year. This happened for the first time in 20years, even though it was a holiday.

The decline was by 0.16 percent from last year where 675,155 mainlanders entered Hong Kong during the five days.
