tourism sector lawmaker Perry Yiu Pak-leung said greater cooperation between government departments was urgently needed to support the tourism trade.
“There is an urgent need to delineate a new blueprint under the new circumstances. We’ve gone through years of pandemic and witnessed changes from visitor demands to all aspects of the industry,” he said.
The different government bureaus and departments could incorporate tourism into their development goals and not dismiss it as something that only concerns the Cultural, Sports and tourism Bureau, he added.
The existing blueprint released in 2017 failed to include any call for cross-departmental cooperation, he added.
The legislator said the current road map lacked any proposals on how related sectors such as aviation businesses, hotels, transport operators, caterers and retailers could work together and develop products.
