2024-11-21
On Thursday’s Backchat, we’re talking about the government’s plans to attract new visitors.
Tourism authorities unveiled a list of 93 mega events for the first half of next year, which are expected to draw 840,000 visitors, a 50% rise on the same period this year. The government estimates these events could generate up to HK$3.3 billion in spending, up 40% on this year’s figure.
From the Rugby Sevens next March to Coldplay’s concert in April, 2025 will also mark the first year of the new Kai Tak stadium, with a capacity of 50,000 seats.
So will 2025 be an auspicious year for the events industry? After 9:45, we’ll learn about the Jockey Club’s new financial education programme.
