Impact of Existing and Emerging Hong Kong Tourism Market Trends

The tourism industry is a major contributor to the economy of Hong Kong. Since 2014, growth of tourists from China has decreased, due to which the Hong Kong tourism industry is facing a slowdown. Also, competition is increasing from destinations such as Europe and Japan, which are frequented by Chinese tourists. However, the government in Hong Kong is taking measures to develop more tourist attractions, thus making Hong Kong one of the most popular tourist destinations.

Hong Kong Tourism: Drivers and Restraints

Tourists from China constituted the largest group of visitors to the Hong Kong Special Administrative region. This is both a driver and a restraint to the Hong Kong tourism market. Chinese visitors come to the Hong Kong region in order to enjoy the duty free shopping and travel in a world class infrastructure and having not to face the language or other cultural shocks that they may face while travelling in a western country. However, visitors from China to Hong Kong have been declining since a couple of years due to the recent unrest in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for self-rule and tensions with the Chinese population. This unrest has taken its toll on the tourist numbers from the China region. However, the reputation of Hong Kong as an international financial centre and a preferred destination for regional conferences and conventions has the potential to rebound the negative fall back of the declining tourists from the China region.
