Hong Kong has welcomed over 10 million visitors in the first five months of 2023.
Data from the Hong Kong Tourism Board showed a good start to the year but officials fear the lack of international flights compared to pre-Covid will slow the full recovery.
The last two months of 2023 saw Hong Kong tourism numbers recover to about 50% of pre-Covid levels.
Visitor numbers from the mainland and Southeast Asia are recovering fastest at 60% of 2019 levels.
The HKTB said that it would partner with China mainland based travel platforms to promote high-speed train travel to Hong Kong for the Dragon Boat Festival holidays and summer trips.
