Hong Kong Legislative Councilor Chan Siu Hung: "Demand for 'Guangdong-Hong Kong' cross-border vehicles is strong and quotas can be gradually increased."

The Hong Kong government plans to implement the "Guangdong Vehicle Southbound" as early as November, with an initial quota of 100 Guangdong vehicles allowed to enter the city area daily, with each vehicle allowed to stay in Hong Kong for up to three days. The Transport Affairs Committee of the Hong Kong Legislative Council will discuss the arrangements on October 17. The committee chairman, Chan Siu-Hung, expects a strong demand for "Guangdong Vehicle Southbound" and considers 100 daily quotas for direct entry into the city area to be appropriate given Hong Kong's road network capacity. If the operation goes smoothly, he believes the quota can be gradually increased. He also mentioned that parking facilities such as MTR stations are ready with charging facilities. The Hong Kong government expects that "Guangdong Vehicle Southbound" will bring in high-spending self-driving family tourists, and will formulate a "Tourist Parking Guide" for applicants of "Guangdong Vehicle Southbound" to refer to. Ye Wen-hei, Vice President of the Unity Hong Kong Foundation, believes that the Hong Kong government should collaborate with the industry to develop a tourist parking guide, providing exclusive parking and consumption discounts for high-spending attractions to attract high-spending self-driving tourists and further stimulate the tourism economy. Anthony Lau, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, also believes that a parking guide can drive tourists to explore different areas and spend more. He believes that the self-guided tourists from "Guangdong Vehicle Southbound" have high spending power, and the industry will collaborate with hotels to provide special tour packages, including preparing charging facilities for vehicles to attract them to stay in Hong Kong. Lau said that if the initial phase operates smoothly, he hopes that the quota for Guangdong vehicles entering the city area can be extended from three days to five days in the next phase, to allow tourists to plan their itinerary.
