The Director-General of the Hong Kong Tourism Promotion Association, Cui Ding-bang, said that the local land-connected business also recorded a decline in business
Although it did not account for 40% of Shenzhen, it also exceeded 15%. He explained that the land agency not only received tourists from Shenzhen and Guangzhou, so the decline was not so big, but he bluntly said that it is just summer vacation, it is the tourist season, and the drop of more than 15% is already very amazing. He also said that the current situation is similar to the “occupation” in violation of the law in 2014, but it is expected to be even worse, as there is no clear social development in the direction of the relevant social problems.
Cui Dingbang continued, because the salary of the tour guides is linked to the number of groups and the number of people receiving the reception, the decline in the business volume of the landlord also naturally affects their livelihood. Many tour guides complained to him, and they could not guess that they had survived the occupation. Now they are coming again. once. Cui Dingbang added that the impact is not just one and three moments, at least one to two years. “Famous destruction is easy. It takes a long time to establish and rebuild. It is very difficult for us to promote Hong Kong tourism in the Mainland. Everyone has a very negative impression. I think Hong Kong is dangerous.”
Cui Dingbang called on all sectors of the community to communicate peacefully and resolve the plight of Hong Kong
He also urged the government to step up publicity on Hong Kong after the problem was resolved
Huang Jiahe, president of the Hong Kong Federation of Restaurants Association, said that the restaurant industry is expected to face a two-digit percentage loss in July. He analyzed that the public’s consumer sentiment has weakened recently, the number of tourists coming to Hong Kong has decreased, and many areas have been affected by demonstrations to close early, which is the cause of the decline in performance.
Huang Jiahe appealed to the public to express their aspirations in a peaceful and rational way
“Hong Kong local SMEs account for more than 50% of the total workforce. More than 300,000 SMEs account for 98% of all Hong Kong enterprises. Their resistance to volatility is weak. Strikes will have a great impact on them, and the impact on people’s livelihood will ultimately be Not conducive to society.”
