And hope to help stimulate consumption to do well in the local atmosphere, so as to send positive messages to tourists to restore confidence in tourism in Hong Kong. The relevant project content will be announced by the HKTB in a short time.
As for the promotion of the source market, the HKTB said that although the Hong Kong epidemic shows signs of slowing down, it still depends on the recovery of the source market. The HKTB will pay close attention to the assessment of the latest situation in the source market, including the latest development of the local epidemic situation, embargo measures, exit restrictions, isolation and quarantine requirements and flight recovery conditions.
