Hong Kong is gearing up for a tourism boom as the Chinese mainland prepares to send 1.54 million visitors to the city during the National Day holiday—an 11% jump from last year! 🌆 HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee called it a "golden opportunity" to showcase the city’s vibrancy, with numbers set to outpace Chinese New Year and Labor Day travel spikes.
Authorities are rolling out the red carpet 🚨: extra staff at border checkpoints, boosted transport links, and real-time crowd updates via a new government app. The Hong Kong Tourism Board is also spotlighting festive events, from harbor light shows to cultural markets, on a dedicated holiday webpage. 🎆
Lee emphasized safety and smooth logistics, saying, "We want every visitor to leave with unforgettable memories." Pro tip for travelers? Check the live border wait times before heading out! 🚆
