The epidemic has stabilized, and all sectors of society hope to relax the quarantine arrangements for entering Hong Kong. Huang Jielong, chairman of the High-Quality Tourism Service Association, said that the pace of Hong Kong's recovery is at least half a year to a year later than other regions. Even if the government announces the recovery, the Hong Kong market will not become prosperous immediately, because the world's tourism market has a new normal, and tourists may not come to Hong Kong, and the business community also needs time to raise funds and re-hire personnel.

Huang Jielong said on a radio program this morning that the customs clearance policy should not be led by the director of the Medical and Health Bureau Lu Chongmao , but should be led by officials in charge of the economy, so that Hong Kong has the opportunity to get out of the economic crisis. At present, Hong Kong's biggest enemy is not the epidemic, but the economic crisis. In addition to entry quarantine measures, social distancing measures should also be relaxed.

Executive Vice President of the Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention Industry Association, said that any quarantine arrangement that hinders international tourists from coming to Hong Kong will make it difficult for the exhibition industry to recover. The industry hopes that the entry quarantine arrangement will be relaxed to the "0+0" plan, because many places in the world have exhibition centers, other places have resumed, and the ports are completely open. The organizers would rather go to places without quarantine restrictions, but may not consider Hong Kong.

This year's large-scale international events are still zero

She also pointed out that Singapore held about 200 events last year, and there have been 600 to 700 events this year, of which more than 60 international events have brought at least tens of thousands of tourists to Singapore. This year, the large-scale international events in Hong Kong are still zero. Some exhibitions that were originally rooted in Hong Kong have moved to Singapore, and some exhibitions announced that they will continue to be held in Singapore next year.

Empirical roundtable member Tian Beichen disclosed yesterday that the government's arrangements for relaxing entry quarantine measures. He revealed that the government will announce the "0+7" plan at the latest next week, which will take effect early next month one week. After implementing the "0+7" plan, all inbound passengers only need to quickly test before boarding the plane, and they can board the plane with negative results.
