Singapore and Hong Kong were originally scheduled to reactivate the "tourism bubble" on May 26. However, due to a new wave of new crown pneumonia outbreak in Singapore earlier, the plan was postponed again. Together with last November, it was the second "blast".

The government recently announced that based on the fact that the Singaporean epidemic has stabilized since early June, the governments of the two places will review the target departure date of the bilateral "air tourism bubble" in early July and announce the next steps.

The Hong Kong and Taiwan program "City Forum" discussed related issues today (13th). Some industry sources pointed out that because the number of vaccinated people in Hong Kong and Star has increased, they are optimistic about the next round of tourism bubbles; Legislative Council member Yao Sirong pointed out As conditions mature, more and more people are vaccinated. I believe that when the government discusses with Singapore, it will also review the conditions and require Singaporeans to come to Hong Kong after being vaccinated.

The industry is optimistic about the next round of tourism bubbles

Present at the show included Yao Sirong, travel show host Liang Yanzong, executive director of travel agency Xuan Guoquan, and founder of cultural tourism company Zhang Zhenhua.

Xuan Guoquan pointed out that it is optimistic about the next round of tourism bubbles, because the number of vaccinations in the two places is rising, and it is believed that by August it will be significantly higher than the present. It is expected that the chances of success in the tourism bubble will also greatly increase.

Yao Sirong pointed out that as the tourism bubble opens, the atmosphere of the entire tourism will gradually increase. Since everyone does not want the bubble to open and close again soon, it is expected that there will be more restrictions after the start, and the tourism industry will also pay attention to it. People traveling in Hong Kong will also bring risks to the epidemic in Hong Kong. Therefore, I personally estimate that when the Hong Kong government talks about tourism bubbles in other places in the future, it will require tourists from those places to get all injections. This will not only protect Hong Kong, but also tourists. After Hong Kong, if the situation in Hong Kong changes, I will feel more at ease.

Travel KOL: Cruise high seas have limited attractiveness, passengers worry about "travel floating waves"

Liang Yanzong mentioned that the tourist bubble has been "exploded" twice in the past, and people who leave Hong Kong will always worry that once an epidemic breaks out there and the flight fuse mechanism is activated, it will be necessary to stay for a while at any time. Therefore, it is estimated that the attraction may not be too attractive. Big.

As for cruises on the high seas, he also thinks that the appeal is limited, because according to the information currently available, there is only one suspected case on board, and the cruise will return. The passengers on board are not sure whether they can disembark. They may have to be isolated for a period of time, or become " "Tourist floating waves" mean drifting on the sea; besides, the focus of cruise cruises has always been different footholds. If you can only go upstream, you can only use the facilities in the cruise ship, which is too big.

Zhang Zhenhua also pointed out that the symbolic meaning of the tourism bubble may be greater than the reality. On the one hand, it often explodes, and the places to go are limited and there are a lot of elbows. It can only be regarded as a choice for citizens when they cannot travel for more than a year.

He also pointed out that the new crown pneumonia may become an endemic disease in the future, and it is believed that there will be major changes in the consumption patterns of tourists, which is worthy of in-depth study by the government.
