The Culture, Sports & Tourism Bureau today convened a meeting to co-ordinate the preparations for visitor arrivals to Hong Kong during the Mainland’s Labour Day Golden Week from May 1 to 5.
Noting that the number of visitor arrivals will increase during the Labour Day Golden Week, which is Hong Kong’s peak travel season, Secretary for Culture, Sports & Tourism Rosanna Law, who hosted the meeting, explained that working together effectively is crucially important.
