The HKTB only had 207 visits per day on average. The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) revealed that 6,200 visitors arrived in Hong Kong in June, a 57.6 percent decrease year over year. Mainland China accounted for 4,647 of the 6,200, while non-mainland areas accounted for 1,553. Between January and June, the total number of visitors was roughly 34,000, down 99 percent from the same period last year. Of the total, 24,259 came from mainland China, with the remaining 9,490 hailing from elsewhere in the country. On this point, the HKTB announced that the “Spend-to-Redeem Free Tour” program will be extended. In a statement, the HKTB stated, “The HKTB wants to continue the initiative to reward and encourage the public to acquire the immunizations.” It will offer roughly 190 free excursions to those who have received the vaccines as part of the second round of the campaign, with the goal of assisting Hong Kong in achieving herd immunity and resuming travel as soon as possible. In August, more information on the program’s extension will be available. The initiative allows Hong Kong residents to collect machine-printed receipts from physical dining and retail locations valued at least $800, which may be used to redeem free trips.
