Luo Shupei: It is estimated that the National Games can attract 100,000 tourists to Hong Kong. Currently studying the introduction of real-time tourist attraction maps to divert the tourist crowds.

The Director of the Hong Kong Tourism, Culture and Sports Bureau, Rosalind Law, said during a visit that the use of Kai Tak Sports Park's main venues has unlimited possibilities, for example, closing the retractable roof is not a problem, and everyone can enjoy themselves to the fullest. As for the National Games, which will be held in November, Law said that many of the venues for the events are located in Hong Kong's landmarks or scenic spots, and a lot of thought was put into selecting the locations with the hope of introducing Hong Kong to the audience. It is expected to attract 100,000 tourists to Hong Kong to watch the games. Law mentioned that the management company of Kai Tak Sports Park has received inquiries from many performance units, including some that had previously asked why they didn't come to Hong Kong. She also revealed that the authorities are considering holding a New Year's Eve concert at Kai Tak, with previews of exciting programs to be announced soon, so stay tuned. Law stated that this year's visitor numbers in Hong Kong are close to the budgeted 49 million at the beginning of the year. Compared to the pre-epidemic peak of around 65 million in 2018, she believes that Hong Kong still has the capacity to accommodate more tourists, and the authorities are studying the introduction of real-time attraction maps and setting up advance notice mechanisms to inform tourists online, hoping to divert crowds. She pointed out that the mechanism could consider issuing red or green alerts for a specific attraction, allowing tourists to stagger their visits and avoid peak crowds, which would help manage the flow of tourists more effectively. The government recently invited the market to submit letters of intent on how to use the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal effectively, Law said that in order to attract good suggestions, they are willing to be flexible with rent considerations. They may even consider exempting rent, with a share of the WINOX, as one of the practices.
