The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Yau Tenghua, said at the opening ceremony that Hong Kong and other parts of the world have experienced the 18-month epidemic, which is regarded as a cold winter for the tourism industry. He understands that recovery will take a long time. Under the measures, passengers can travel on board, which can be regarded as the "new page" of the tourism industry's sailing predictions.
He mentioned that there have been more than 50 Japanese places in Hong Kong with zero confirmed cases, and Hong Kong citizens’ awareness of epidemic prevention and compliance with epidemic prevention measures and rules. The Chief Executive, the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau and the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau have been actively discussing matters related to the exchange of residents of the two places.
When asked about the timetable for customs clearance between Hong Kong and the Mainland and Macau, Qiu Tenghua said that the epidemic prevention measures in the Mainland and Macau have been handled stably, and the most conditions for the development of interoperability. He emphasized three times that Hong Kong has zero confirmed cases in more than 50 Japanese places and Hong Kong citizens’ awareness of epidemic prevention. , Comply with anti-epidemic measures and rules, including social distancing and have been very cooperative.
At present, the Chief Executive, the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau, and the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau have been actively discussing matters related to the exchange of residents of the two places, but emphasized the importance of careful consideration.
In addition, Hong Kong used the "tourism bubble" as a way to re-open outbound travel with other places. However, the epidemic situation in Hong Kong and Singapore has changed. Two times before departure, they "exploded". Qiu Tenghua said that the epidemic situation in Singapore is the same as many other places in the world. The time has gone wrong. The local government decided to suspend the communication between the two places in order to strictly observe the external defense measures. The current conditions for opening the two places have not changed. However, when asked whether the plan will be renamed as a "tourist corridor" as Singapore said, he said that it is possible to communicate with each other. It's everyone's subjective wish, and it doesn't care about the name. The most important thing is that the conditions and measures need to be strictly observed.
