According to the Wise Financial APP, the Hong Kong Development Bureau will launch a pilot program in collaboration with the Hong Kong Education Bureau to relax planning restrictions and encourage the market to convert hotels and other commercial buildings into student dormitories in support of the "Study in Hong Kong" brand. Ning Hanhao, Director of the Hong Kong Development Bureau, said at a meeting of the Development Affairs Committee of the Legislative Council that since the relevant documents were released last week, the Bureau has received many inquiries from owners of commercial buildings or commercial land, but very few from hotels. She is confident in the response to the program.
