Monday's Backchat looked at how the yacht economy could help bring Hong Kong's tourism experience to a new level. We talked to a yacht club representative to see how boosting this sector could attract more pleasure craft from the Greater Bay Area.

After the break, we spoke to a health official about her work to encourage schools to join a government programme and promote student health. Data from the programme revealed that the psychological well-being of secondary students has improved from the last academic year.

And staying on the topic of health, we learnt more about a discovery by the Chinese University, which found a treatment for a common age-related condition.
