Secretary for Culture, Sports & Tourism Kevin Yeung today hosted a meeting to co-ordinate the preparations for visitor arrivals to Hong Kong during the Mainland’s National Day Golden Week from October 1 to 7.

At the meeting, he explained that since the number of visitors will increase during the holiday, government departments and relevant organisations will continue to work closely, making early preparations for active deployment of resources as well as stepping up co-ordination and communication with relevant Mainland counterparts.

Mr Yeung said: "We will do our best to welcome visitors arriving in Hong Kong and provide them with high-quality travel experiences."

Relevant parties will maintain close communication before the Mainland’s National Day Golden Week to plan in advance, and take forward preparations in various areas for welcoming visitors to Hong Kong.

The meeting was attended by representatives from Customs, Police, the Immigration and Transport departments, district offices as well as tourism-related organisations, major tourist attractions and the hotel industry.
