The Style Of Hongkong'S Retail Shopping Paradise No Longer Exists.

The number of visitors and passengers in Hongkong has declined this year, adding to the "worsening" of the retail market. The mainland visitors have been pformed in recent years, from high consumption cities to two or three tier cities, affecting the mainland's passengers in Hong Kong.

Since the beginning of this year, the Hongkong society has not been calm. Disputes and discussions about the development of the political system have spread beyond the realm of politics. Some radical activists have a profound influence on the "anti anger" style of anti water traders.

In addition, the incoming port

Hongkong's tourism industry and retail industry are the first to suffer from the cold winter when adjustment and other regional competition are not decreasing.

Su Jinliang, director of the commerce and Economic Development Bureau of the Hongkong Special Administrative Region government, said in July 5th that the figures for from June 1st to 28th showed a decrease of 1.9% compared with the same period last year, with the number of non mainland visitors falling by 6.2% and the number of mainland visitors by 0.5%.

According to the latest figures released by the Hongkong tourism board, the total number of visitors to Hong Kong in the first 5 months of this year was 24 million 966 thousand, up 3.9% from the same period last year, far below the 6.4% forecast for the beginning of the year.

The total number of visitors to the mainland and the number of night travelers increased by 5.9% and 12.2% over the same period last year.

The number of personal trips (free travel) from 1 to 28 in June dropped by 10% compared with the same period last year. In May, the number of individual travel figures decreased by 5% compared with the same period last year. This shows that the number of free travel figures is increasing.

The exit Entry Administration of the Ministry of public security has ceased issuing since April 13th.

Registered residents to Hong Kong "one sign multi line" endorsement, changed to "one Monday row" endorsement.

Liang Zhenying, chief executive of the Hongkong Special Administrative Region, responded that the policy adjustment was aimed at "parallel imports" activities.

Regarding the "one Monday trip" policy, the Hongkong Retail Management Association has issued a statement saying that it is difficult to assess the impact of the policy adjustment on the industry and the surrounding industries at this stage. However, it is feared that policy adjustments may cause mainland visitors to create a "Hongkong not welcoming mainland visitors to Hong Kong". Not only do they damage the image of Hongkong's "hospitable capital", they will also cause ripple effects, which will affect the number of visitors to other provinces and cities and bring negative impacts on the society.

In response to this, Su Jinliang responded that most of the passengers who came to Hong Kong were still visiting the port with the old "one sign and many lines". The "one Monday trip" measure is currently only implemented for 3 months. The effect of the "one Monday trip" will still take a year to see the overall impact.

Beginning in the early February, radical groups in Hongkong launched so-called "anti water cargo" demonstrations in various regions.

Militants abused and harassed others in street, shopping malls, shops, even brutal acts. They even attacked others. The children were frightened and cried. Some passers-by were injured. Some demonstrators moved the fence to prevent the buses from running normally.

Lin Zhiting, director general of the Federation of tourism unions, told the interface news that the mainland tourists' impression of Hongkong was even worse than that of Southeast Asian tourists.

"On the one hand, the mainland travel agencies are not currently pushing the Hongkong tour group. On the other hand, the desire of mainland tourists to come to Hong Kong is also reduced. Mainland tourists who used Hongkong as the preferred destination for travel abroad have previously moved to other areas."

Lin Zhiting was very worried about reporters. He admitted that Hongkong's tourism industry took a long time to eliminate the impact of the tourists.

He said that taking the mainland tourist group as an example, the mainland as the main source of tourists in Hongkong, but the number of tour groups has declined considerably this year.

"From 1 to May this year, the number of tours in the mainland dropped by 16.2% over the same period last year, with an average reduction of 2000 regiments per month, which means an average of 70 yuan per day."

Yu Lihua, vice-chairman of the Hongkong tourism employees association, told the reporters that in the face of the violent incidents of militants driving the mainland tourists this year, Hongkong, a "hospitable capital", is worried about the tourism industry. The number of mainland tour groups has plummeted every day, and many tourism employees in mainland China have nothing to do. "Hongkong's most important thing is to build confidence in the world's tourists."
