Budget Speech

Tourism

80. The tourism industry has suffered successive setbacks since the middle of last year.  The Government has been maintaining close liaison with industry players.  I have rolled out since last August several measures to alleviate their operating pressure and the Anti-epidemic Fund will also implement measures to help the industry.  I will allocate an additional amount of over $700 million for the Hong Kong Tourism Board to step up promotion and revive the tourism industry when the epidemic is over.
