Overview
The
Sai Kung District Council, together with the support from various Government Departments and other organisations, has identified tourism development and promotion as a means to further improve the economy and employment opportunities within the District.
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University's School of Hotel and Tourism Management was commissioned in 2007 to undertake a study to formulate a strategy and, more importantly, to assess the tourism potential of the District. The concept and action plan recommendations are as follows -
- Pursue the “Greening” of Sai kung Town
- Develop the Sai Kung Board Walk and Promenade
- Establish & develop the Yeung Chau Nature Park
- Develop and promote island-hopping itineraries
- dentify or develop a signature food & snack
- Promote traditional festivals and cultural festivals
- Encourage cultural and heritage conservation
The Working Group adopts the suggestions of the Study partially and subsequently carrying out a series of works to enhance the tourism development in Sai Kung District.
