Peng Yaojia said that due to the impact of the epidemic, Hong Kong ’s tourism industry has been suspended for a period of time. The situation is similar to the 2003 SARS outbreak. However, this epidemic has evolved into a global problem. It is expected that even if the Hong Kong epidemic is controlled, the number of passengers will not recover as fast as 2003 . He pointed out that it is impossible to predict when the epidemic will pass and when Hong Kong ’s tourism industry will recover. Hong Kong people cannot travel abroad. They can also “be their own travellers”. He hopes to encourage Hong Kong people to follow the recommended characteristic routes and travel tips in Hong Kong after the epidemic. Re-explore the cultural characteristics of the community and feel the pleasure of traveling. He believes that "tourism can also be started from the homeland", which can help restore the economy and "learn better hospitality" from it.

He believes that the long-term tourism industry will have a new normal. After the epidemic, travel habits will change. It is estimated that when tourists consider outbound travel, they will focus more on local public health and safety, and will be more inclined to short-distance travel, health-themed concept trips, such as outdoor Attractions, or getting close to nature, will be a new trend. He believes that in addition to focusing on the recovery strategy after the epidemic, Hong Kong's tourism industry can also take the opportunity to reexamine tourism positioning, improve service levels, and pave the way for long-term stable development.
