Executive summary

China’s influence soars

China’s impact on both inbound and outbound tourism has grown enormously. China is not only the major source of arrivals into Hong Kong but continues to grow at a healthy pace. China is also a major destination for outbound travellers, due to its relative ease of access and low-cost benefits for Hong Kong-based travellers. This has impacted on traffic to budget destinations within South East Asia.

Changing landscape in hotel industry

Travel accommodation is undergoing a gradual transformation. Where previously the industry’s focus was on four- and five-star outlets, the impact of Hong Kong as a tourist destination has seen an influx of budget accommodation to cater to Chinese arrivals. At the other end of the spectrum, there has been a series of major upgrades and renovations amongst the city’s premium hotels.

Retail product portfolio stays small

Tour packages remain the backbone of retail travel products in Hong Kong, while the product portfolio remains limited. Outbound Hong Kong travellers continue to show a great preference for this type of product. Flight only purchases are growing in popularity. Short haul destinations, particularly to China and Taiwan, are driving this change.

Internet travel retail beginning to take off

Hong Kong’s travel retail industry has been slow in offering full on-line purchasing. Until recently, only one major international player, but not a leading brand, offered significant on-line purchasing options. However, more recently, the leading player in travel retail, Hong Thai Travel Services Ltd, introduced on-line services to make internet purchasing easier. This represents a significant shift away the traditional emphasis on face to face service, providing the consumer with more choice.

Cathay Pacific increases dominance

In a move to strengthen its position against major rivals in the Chinese market, Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd

completed a deal that saw Dragon Airlines become a wholly-owned subsidiary. The move further consolidates the company’s leading position in its home market.

China to drive future growth

China’s growing economic clout, combined with the on-going success of the Individual Visit Scheme, will serve to expand China’s impact on Hong Kong’s travel and tourism industry. Industry players will increasingly focus on China. As China’s prosperity continues to grow, businesses will cater to a greater range of budget types, not only in travel accommodation but throughout the industry.
