There has been much discussion of what Hong Kong can do to revive its economy in recent months. I share Hong Kong tourism minister Kevin Yeung Yun-hung’s view that money is not the silver bullet to lure global stars such as singer Taylor Swift to the city. After all, Hong Kong currently does not even have the facilities to host such blockbuster concerts.
Unfortunately, instead of simply acknowledging these gaps in Hong Kong’s mega-events management ecosystem as a matter of fact, some, seemingly in a case of sour grapes, have chosen instead to take aim at Singapore, which has hosted A-list pop acts such as Swift and Coldplay.
Cue the same old tired stereotypes of a “dull”…
