On Monday’s programme, we’re discussing tourism ahead of the National Day "Golden Week".

Businesses are bracing for an upsurge in visitors, with estimates showing that the city could welcome as many as 1.2 million Mainland Chinese tourists, a 10 percent increase from last year.


At least 3,600 restaurants, stores, supermarket and hotels across the territory will be offering discounts of up to 30% to encourage spending while a drone display will light up Victoria Harbour to celebrate the occasion.


Will this week translate into higher profit for businesses in Hong Kong and the region?


At 9:30, we talk about the first ever waterspout recorded in Hong Kong over the weekend.


And at 9:45, we speak to the organiser of Clockenflap, as tickets are now on sale.
