The vaccination plan will be launched next week, with Chief Executive Carrie Lam, the Secretary-General, and members of the Legislative Council taking the lead tomorrow (22nd).

Yao Sirong, a member of the Legislative Council of the tourism industry, said that the vaccine will be vaccinated tomorrow.

As for the timetable for customs clearance with the mainland, Yao Sirong believes that because the mainland has strict requirements for epidemic prevention and control, the Hong Kong government must deliver good results when discussing with the mainland to reassure the mainland. Then it can discuss with the mainland to strengthen testing and let "Travel with peace of mind" and the Mainland "Health Code" are mutually recognized.

The source case can be restarted under "Reset"

Yao Sirong stated on the radio program that he is aware that the Bureau of Commerce and Economic Development has been in contact with Singapore regarding the tourism bubble of the two places. He believes that the two places can "clear" the sourceless cases and maintain the following 5 local cases to restart tourism Bubble, I believe the implementation date may be earlier than customs clearance with the mainland.

Yao Sirong believes that the current vaccination in Hong Kong and Singapore is not universal, and it is not necessary to be vaccinated before traveling, but he hopes that the authorities will consider exempting people who have been vaccinated for virus testing to save time.

He also pointed out that Singaporean tourists may need to use "Travel with peace of mind" in Hong Kong by then, and the two places will continue to actively discuss detailed arrangements.

However, Yao took the airlines as an example, criticizing that the government recently introduced the 21-day testing arrangement requirements for the aviation industry, and finally spent a lot of resources on the aircraft and hotel industry, and asked whether the testing numbers for them need to be so strict. , Because the number of aviation personnel infected with the epidemic in the past was small.

Lin Jianfeng pointed out that the budget proposal to introduce new taxes is not the best policy, Yao Sirong advocates the promotion of consumer vouchers to stimulate the economy

Regarding the budget, some people recently proposed to levy new taxes, but Lin Jianfeng believes that the current situation is still unclear and tax increases are not the best policy.

He also pointed out that both Singapore and Macau rely on low tax systems to attract investment. Tax increases may not necessarily increase income, and there are opportunities to benefit individual advantages.

Lin suggested that the government strengthen the issuance of bonds for Hong Kong people to buy.

Yao Sirong suggested that the government consider distributing consumer vouchers. He believed that many people had decided to store up cash due to the economic downturn last time, so they stimulated insufficient consumption. On the other hand, consumer vouchers can activate the economy and stimulate all walks of life.
