Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) is buzzing with festive energy this Christmas season! The local Immigration Department expects over 11.52 million passenger trips during the holiday period, signaling a strong return of tourism. Lan Kwai Fong is already at 90 percent occupancy on Christmas Eve, with per-person spending up 5-10 percent year-on-year. This year, the crowds aren't just local or from the Chinese mainland – more international travelers are filling the streets, adding to the vibrant mix that makes Hong Kong SAR unique. From hotel bookings to restaurant reservations, the city is riding a wave of renewed confidence and energy. What does this surge mean for Hong Kong SAR's economy? It's more than just numbers – it's a sign of revitalization, global reconnection, and brighter days ahead.
