Chinanews, Hong Kong, Feb. 25 �C Visitors from China’s mainland to Hong
Kong had increased by ten times to 6.6 million people by the end of 2006
since Chinese mainlanders were permitted to travel to Hong Kong as
individual tourists in 2003, said Li Guodong, director of the Immigration
Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, on February 24.
Sources from the Hong Kong tourism industry reveal that Hong Kong gained
24 billion yuan worth of profit from mainland tourists last year,
according to the Hong Kong-based Wen Wei Pao.
Normally nearly 40 percent of the mainland tourists experience day trips
in Hong Kong, consequently retailing industry is the biggest beneficiary.
Female cosmetics sell fairly hot. A spokesman of a chain makeup shop in
Hong Kong said about 10 percent of their customers were from the
mainland, and they were quite “generous”. “Some customers from the
mainland even swept over 10,000 yuan worth of the cosmetics on one shop
counter,” he said, adding that mostly these customers bought them not
only for themselves, but also for their family members and friends.
Incomplete statistics show that mainland tourists contributed to 60
percent of the consumption of Hong Kong during the Spring Festival
holiday.
