The bureau will enhance services and support to attract more cruise visits, seize new opportunities brought by new policies related to cruises in mainland China, and develop more new cruise routes; establish deeper strategic partnerships with mainland ports and continue to cooperate with ports in the Asia-Pacific region, closely connecting with the industry and cruise companies to provide timely and appropriate support. The bureau will also carefully review and optimize future operational requirements for operators when re-tendering for terminal operators next year; the authorities will utilize the cruise terminal as an important venue for conferences, exhibitions, cultural creativity, and community leisure, leveraging synergies with the Kai Tak Sports Park.
The third strategy is to promote smart tourism, including optimizing the Discover Hong Kong one-stop tourism information platform; the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau will study new arrangements to facilitate tourists who have arrived in Hong Kong to conveniently purchase same-day tickets for cultural performances, etc.
