<p>香港将在今年取消持续了二十年的 “光之交响曲”，《南华早报》了解到，该项目将被各个地区的沉浸式投影所取代，以提升城市的吸引力。这次改造是财政司司长陈茂波在最新预算中宣布的一系列新旅游措施之一，其他措施包括推动香港成为学习旅游的目的地，以及设立 2 亿港元（2560 万美元）基金以振兴农村村庄。该蓝图还为体育部门预留了 12 亿港元，以 “进一步促进体育发展”。陈在周三透露，香港旅游局（HKTB）将获得 16.6 亿港元的资金，比去年增加了 35%。他表示：“在去年 ‘中环沉浸式灯光秀’ 成功的基础上，HKTB 将推出一场全新的以灯光节为主题的表演，覆盖不同地点和不同时间，以取代光之交响曲。” 他提到的灯光投影主要集中在圣诞节和新年期间的雕塑广场花园。一位消息人士告诉《南华早报》，类似的装置将在城市多个地区设置，包括中央和尖沙咀等受游客欢迎的地方，尽管当局尚未最终确定地点名单。内部人士补充说，每晚的光之交响曲表演将在 “今年晚些时候” 逐步淘汰。“现在的海港已经非常明亮和美丽，因此决定我们应该走不同的方向，” 消息人士说。这次改造将使用 2024-25 预算中的剩余资金，陈为旅游业提供了 10.9 亿港元的资金，其中包括 3.54 亿港元用于 HKTB 改造这个持续多年的灯光秀。香港旅游协会执行董事崔廷邦表示，他支持这一举措，因为投影秀能够做得更多。他表示，这项措施还能够吸引游客前往其他不太知名的地点。今年分配给 HKTB 的 16.6 亿港元将用于升级和推广旗舰活动和节庆等多个领域。消息人士表示，当局希望更加关注那些 “在大陆不太显著或无法体验” 的假期和节庆，包括万圣节和中秋节的太坑火龙舞。“HKTB 将通过加强在潜在源市场的营销努力，吸引更多过夜游客，包括广东以外的大陆城市，以及东盟和中东等新兴市场，” 陈说。该部长补充说，将努力推广城市的 “会议、奖励、会议和展览”（MICE）经济。消息人士表示，政府在促进中东游客旅游方面的努力迄今为止令人满意，指出来自该地区的游客同比增长了 37%，到 2025 年约为 92,000 人。仅在 2026 年 1 月，该地区就迎来了 9,700 名游客，比去年同月增长了 78%。消息人士补充说，这些游客被视为 “高价值”，因为他们通常是 “年轻、快速增长且富有”，每次旅行的人均消费平均为 11,300 港元，几乎是平均过夜游客 5,500 港元的两倍。陈还提议拨款 2 亿港元启动 “NM 城乡融合基金” 试点，以鼓励更多北方农村村庄 “推进农村旅游项目，带来经济活力”。消息人士表示，“非政府组织和相关机构” 将被要求提交关于硬件升级的提案，例如对设施和装置进行简单的结构改进，或 “软件” 计划，例如为游客制定旅游行程。消息人士补充说，政府将在 2026 年中期向立法会推介该计划时进一步公布细节。香港步行创始人陈志远表示，当局需要考虑多个领域，包括如何更好地利用农村村庄现有的空置空间，并确保有足够的支持措施来促进旅游。他指出，农村村庄通常有空置的土地和房屋，添加一些临时装置可以提升这些地点的旅游价值。在教育方面，当局在周三早上表示，希望高等教育机构能够推出更多短期学习旅游，特别是在夏季假期期间，当校园资源闲置时，以鼓励非本地参与者来香港学习。“通过优质的学习旅游体验，学生可以加深对香港的理解，帮助本地高等教育机构拓展学生招募渠道，吸引人才来港，” 教育局表示，并补充说，这些旅游可以为机构带来额外收入。政府消息人士表示，这些旅游可以集中在技术与创新、艺术与文化，或商业与创意等主题上，称这些领域是香港的优势所在。参与者可以参观实验室，参加大师班讲座和工作坊，沉浸在文化体验中，内部人士表示。财政司司长陈还表示，艺术与体育发展基金的体育部分将获得 12 亿港元，以 “进一步促进体育发展，包括加强团队运动运动员的训练，提高教练的专业水平，以及支持和探索在香港举办更多多样化和高水平的体育比赛”。代表体育部门的立法会议员霍启刚欢迎这项资金，并表示这将为该领域注入新的动力。“香港的体育发展长期以来依赖补贴，” 他说。“从长远来看，我们必须巩固专业化和产业化的经济效益，以增强行业的可持续性。” 霍还呼吁对团队运动训练提供更多支持，同时呼吁对运动员待遇、教练支持和资源分配进行更广泛的审查，以帮助有潜力的项目达到精英水平。</p>

<p>香港将停止持续了二十年的 “光之交响曲” 表演，取而代之的是在各个地区进行沉浸式投影，这一举措是财政司司长陈茂波在最新预算中宣布的旅游改革的一部分。该预算为香港旅游发展局拨款 16.6 亿港元，比去年增加 35%，以推广活动和吸引游客。其他措施包括设立 2 亿港元的农村旅游项目基金，并重点推广不太知名的节日。政府旨在提升城市对国际游客的吸引力，特别是来自中东和东盟的游客</p>

<p>Hong Kong will cancel the two-decade-old “A Symphony of Lights” within the year, with the South China Morning Post learning that the fixture will be replaced with immersive projections across various districts to upgrade the city’s offerings. The revamp is among a raft of new tourism measures announced in finance chief Paul Chan Mo-po’s latest budget, with others including a push for Hong Kong to become a destination for study tours and a HK$200 million (US$25.6 million) fund to revitalise rural villages. The blueprint also earmarked HK$1.2 billion for the sports sector to “further promote sports development”. Chan revealed on Wednesday that the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) would receive HK$1.66 billion in funding – a 35 per cent increase from the previous year. “Building on the success of last year’s ‘Immersive Light Show in Central’ featuring spectacular 3D light shows, the HKTB will launch a brand new show with the theme of light festivals across various locations at different times of the year to replace A Symphony of Lights,” Chan said. He was referring to light projections concentrated around the Statue Square Gardens over the Christmas and New Year periods. A source told the SCMP that similar installations would be set up in several districts across the city, including those popular with tourists, such as Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, although authorities had yet to finalise the list of places. The insider added that the nightly A Symphony of Lights show would be gradually phased out “later this year”. “The harbour is already very bright and beautiful nowadays, so it was decided we should go in a different direction,” the source said. The overhaul will use residual funds from the 2024-25 budget, under which Chan gave HK$1.09 billion to the tourism industry, including HK$354 million for the HKTB to revamp the decades-old light show. Timothy Chui Ting-pong, executive director of the Hong Kong Tourism Association, said he supported the move as a projection show would be able to do more. He said that the measure would also be able draw tourists to other lesser-known locations. The HK$1.66 billion allocated to the HKTB this year would go towards upgrading and promoting flagship events and festivities, among other areas. The source said authorities were keen to concentrate more on holidays and festivals that are “not as prominent, or cannot be experienced, on the mainland,” including Halloween and the Mid-Autumn Festival’s Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance. “The HKTB will draw more overnight visitors by stepping up marketing efforts in source markets with potential, including mainland cities outside Guangdong, as well as emerging markets such as Asean and the Middle East,” Chan said. The minister added that efforts would be made to promote the city’s “meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions”, or MICE, economy. The source said that government efforts to promote tourism to Middle Eastern travellers had been satisfactory so far, noting visitors from the region had increased by 37 per cent year on year to about 92,000 in 2025. The city welcomed 9,700 visitors from the region in January 2026 alone, up by 78 per cent from the same month last year. The source added that such visitors were considered “high value” as they tended to be “young, fast-growing and wealthy”, spending an average of HK$11,300 per trip per capita - nearly twice as much as the HK$5,500 spent by the average overnight visitor. Chan also proposed allocating HK$200 million to launch a pilot “NM Urban-rural Integration Fund” to encourage more northern rural villages to “take forward rural tourism projects and bring economic vitality”. A source said “non-governmental organisations and relevant bodies” would be required to submit proposals on hardware upgrades, such as simple structural enhancements for facilities and installations, or “software” plans, such as coming up with tour itineraries for visitors. Details would be further announced as the government pitched the scheme to the Legislative Council in mid-2026, the source added. Walk in Hong Kong co-founder Paul Chan Chi-yuen said authorities would have to consider several areas, including how to make better use of the existing vacant spaces in rural villages and ensuring there were enough support measures to facilitate tourism. He noted that rural villages typically had vacant land and homes, adding that some makeshift installations could be used to elevate the tourism value of those sites. On the education front, authorities expressed hope on Wednesday morning that tertiary education institutions would launch more short-term study tours, especially during summer breaks when campus resources were idle, to encourage non-local participants to study in the city. “Through quality study tour experiences, students can deepen their understanding of Hong Kong, helping local tertiary institutions expand their student recruitment channels and attract talent to Hong Kong,” the Education Bureau said, adding that such tours could generate additional income for the institutions. A government source said such tours could focus on themes such as technology and innovation, arts and culture, or commerce and creativity, describing them as areas where Hong Kong had advantages. Participants could visit laboratories, attend master-class talks and workshops, and immerse themselves in cultural experiences, the insider said. Finance chief Chan also said the sports portion of the Arts and Sport Development Fund would receive HK$1.2 billion to “further promote sports development, including strengthening training for team sports athletes, improving the professional standards of coaches, as well as supporting and exploring more diverse and higher-level sports competitions to be held in Hong Kong”. Lawmaker Kenneth Fok Kai-kong, whose constituency covers the sports sector, welcomed the funding and said it would inject fresh momentum into the sector. “Hong Kong’s sports development has long leaned heavily on subsidies,” he said. “In the long run, we must consolidate the economic benefits of professionalisation and industrialisation to enhance the industry’s sustainability.” Fok also called for more support for team-based sports training, while urging a broader review of athlete treatment, coaching support and resource allocation to help promising projects reach elite status.</p>
