HKTB hails Hong Kong’s relaxed travel curbs
The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) welcomed the Government’s relaxing of entry restrictions as a positive next step toward a meaningful recovery.
The new “0+3” arrangements for inbound travellers from overseas and Taiwan sees the removal of mandatory hotel quarantine.
“The new arrangements mark Hong Kong’s re-opening as a tourism gateway with significant international connections. This is expected to initially attract mainly business travelers, family visitors and returning Hong Kong residents,” said Pang Yiu-kai, HKTB chairman.
Travellers are no longer required to take a PCR test before boarding flights to Hong Kong, and upon arrival, they can head directly to their home or chosen hotel to await arrival test results.
“The new arrangements will allow greater convenience and flexibility for travellers.”
The HKTB has been planning to revive the tourism industry and will launch various initiatives soon, to drive the recovery of Hong Kong tourism.
