The May Day holiday has come to an end, and Hong Kong has released its "transcript". This holiday, Hong Kong continues to enhance the experience of citizens and tourists, with various fancy tourism scenes widely popular, further unleashing consumption potential, and surging tourism market vitality. According to data from the Immigration Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, from May 1st to 4th, over 1.5 million people entered Hong Kong, including over 670000 mainland visitors. The Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Yang Runxiong, stated that the number of mainland visitors is expected to reach the previously estimated 800000, bringing economic benefits of over HKD 2 billion. On May 1st, passengers walked out of West Kowloon Station in Hong Kong. According to data from a tourism platform in Hong Kong, the per capita consumption of tourists visiting Hong Kong during the May Day holiday has increased. Mainland tourists booking Hong Kong products and related services have seen an overall increase of approximately 1.3 times in annual consumption. Among them, the growth in catering consumption is the most significant, with a growth rate of up to 8 times. Yang Shufen, General Secretary of the Hong Kong Tourism Council, stated that during the holiday period, the hotel occupancy rate in Hong Kong was close to 90%, which is in line with industry expectations. "The increase in the flow of people can naturally bring together wealth and benefit related industries." The market is heating up, and the consumption potential is being activated. Shrimp dumplings, Shaomai, Cha siu bao... The rich and exquisite dishes reflect the charm of Hong Kong's "City of Gastronomy". At around 11 o'clock in the morning, the old tea house "Lotus Fragrance Tower" was bustling with people, and many tourists came here to taste the authentic Hong Kong style flavor. Ms. Su from Xiamen said that she found the taste of traditional morning tea from her childhood here. "The cost-effectiveness here is very high, and it has Hong Kong characteristics," said Mr. Liu, the person in charge of Lianxiang Building. Previously, the store was announced to be closed due to the epidemic, and business has been very hot since the original site reopened recently. Lianxiang Tower is adjacent to tourist landmarks such as Daguan and Zhonghuan Street Market, hoping to form a 'local characteristic circle' in the Central and Upper Ring to attract tourists. Real gold and silver attract tourists, and various discounts are offered to attract local consumption from other places. The Yau Tsim Mong Shopping Festival, jointly initiated by the Hong Kong Yau Tsim Mong Home Affairs Office and the District Council, was launched on the 1st. Over 110 brands and nearly 2200 merchants participated, offering different limited discounts. A skincare merchant selling skincare products in a shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui said that the recent foot traffic has been very considerable, and the revenue is expected to increase by 20% to 30% during the May Day holiday. On May 1st, tourists visited Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. Hong Kong Legislative Council member Shaw Ka fai stated that during this holiday, traditional popular products among tourists, including jewelry, gold jewelry, luxury goods, and cosmetics, are selling well and the industry is optimistic. I believe that under the drive of various grand events, Hong Kong will surely have frequent highlights, be favored by citizens and tourists, and thus boost consumption. In addition to luxury goods, creative small shops are also highly sought after. The reporter saw a queue of customers waiting to enter a canvas bag store in Central, about 200 meters long. The store owner said that the current passenger flow has completely exceeded the expectations when the store was opened, and he hopes that our services and products can leave a deep impression on passengers about this city. Expanding the integration of cultural and tourism in distinctive spaces to attract more attention. With the development of the tourism industry and consumption upgrading, Hong Kong is constantly striving for excellence
