Hong Kong’s tourism industry is on the road to recovery, with provisional visitor arrivals reaching 3.4 million from January to April 2024, reflecting a notable 20% increase compared to the same period last year. This growth is particularly significant as it showcases a positive trend in tourism recovery for Hong Kong.
Non-Mainland markets have experienced an impressive growth of more than 50% from the previous year, indicating a growing interest in Hong Kong as a travel destination. Among the short-haul markets, the end of Ramadan played a pivotal role in boosting visitor arrivals from Indonesia by over 80% compared to the corresponding period in 2023. This surge suggests a heightened appeal of Hong Kong’s offerings to travelers from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Similarly, long-haul markets such as the US and Canada also saw a remarkable increase of over 80% in visitor arrivals year on year, signaling a broad-based recovery in international tourism to Hong Kong.
From January to April this year, Hong Kong welcomed a total of 14.62 million visitors, marking a twofold increase compared to the same period last year. This positive trend is expected to continue as Hong Kong further relaxes its travel restrictions and promotes its diverse tourism offerings to travelers from around the world.
