Hong Kong's governance model is completely in Stephen Chow's style, and it matches the model of Hong Kong-produced films.
For example, there is a classic scene in Zhou Xingchi's movie "Domestic Lingling Paint". Zhou Xingchi shows off his advanced spy weapons at Anita Yuen's home. One surface is a shoe, which is actually a hair dryer, and the other surface is a wireless phone. , which is essentially Shaker's hilarious scene.
In reality, the policy bureau of the Hong Kong government also has a similar phenomenon.
For example, the Home Affairs and Youth Affairs Bureau (the Youth Affairs Bureau), people thought it was in charge of civil affairs and youth affairs, but it turned out that the Bureau of Home Affairs and Youth Affairs was also responsible for issuing licenses for hotels directly related to tourism.
Why is the Gerakan Youth Bureau responsible for issuing hotel licenses instead of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau (CSTTB)?
What is the definition of a hotel?
This year, the new government team came to power to carry out reforms in government departments. In fact, it is not perfect.
Not only the Gerakan Youth Bureau, but also other policy bureaus have similar situations.
The reason for the situation where the Democratic Youth Bureau manages the licensing of hotels is that since the reunification, Hong Kong's hotel policy has never undergone a substantive review and cannot match the development of society.
After the epidemic, Hong Kong needs to vigorously promote the tourism industry, and it needs tourism packages.
The previous model of single bulk cargo yard and more people winning is out of date.
First of all, other competitors, such as Singapore, Japan, South Korea, the Greater Bay Area, Hainan Island and other regions, have built a large number of tourist facilities in the past ten years, and they are very diversified. You can choose from different grades and prices.
Hong Kong lacks a macro blueprint in this regard, mainly focusing on the "bulk yard model".
So, how should Hong Kong's tourism industry develop in the future?
How can the tourism industry have room for normal development when the licensing regulations for hotels, hotels and guesthouses are still in the 1990s?
How should the Hotel Industry Regulations be amended?
Or what else can be done within the current responsibility of the Gerakan Youth Bureau?
I have to ask the director of the Youth Bureau of the People's Republic of China about this.
The hotel is the soul of tourism policy, and the hotel does not only have the function of a hotel.
In Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan in recent years, there have been a large number of hotels in the rural tourism mode, and you can also live in B&Bs.
Hong Kong currently has no homestay policy, and Airbnb is not subject to any supervision in Hong Kong.
The current licensing system is unreasonable. The Tourism Bureau should take the lead in reviewing the current hotel and hotel policies in Hong Kong.
The Rural Conservation Office (Rural Office) promotes rural development, and the best way out for rural development is to develop rural tourism.
Rural tourism requires campsites and homestays to revitalize ancient villages.
Without the cooperation of homestay policies and relevant restaurant policies, it will only get twice the result with half the effort.
Hong Kong is a gourmet paradise. To maintain this gourmet paradise, the most important thing for the tourism industry is to "eat" and "live".
Why can Japan become a tourism powerhouse?
It is because Japan has excellent hotels and restaurants.
Hong Kong was originally a city of gourmet food, but now the food and environmental hygiene department is in charge of food and environmental hygiene in Hong Kong. On the whole, all government licensing systems related to food and drink are very outdated and not environmentally friendly.
In fact, as long as we start from the government's licensing system and make appropriate adjustments to food waste recycling, it can be implemented.
Going back to the hotel policy, Hong Kong needs to establish a three-dimensional and diverse policy. In terms of price, there are both high, medium and low prices. In terms of form, it is not just air-conditioned hotels, but should be diversified. For example, more hotels like Tai O Heritage Hotel, Lai Chi Wo There are different types of hotels such as Hakka Life Experience Village.
Hong Kong has the world's three major hotel brands: The Peninsula Hotel, Mandarin Hotel, and Rosewood Hotel. They are all managed by Hong Kong people. In fact, they should offer advice and advice on how to update Hong Kong's hotel and tourism industry, and create a vibrant city like Thailand. tourism.
The future real estate model can also be combined with the rural leisure model, not just the current "luxury house" accommodation.
The countryside, which accounts for 80% of the land in Hong Kong, is rich in resources, which should be well integrated and utilized.
But the most important problem now is how to turn a hair dryer into a real hair dryer, and a shaver into a real shaver, instead of continuing to tolerate the strange phenomenon that it looks like a vacuum cleaner but is actually an oven .
