我認為，在過去幾年，政府有意限制議員審議預算案的機會，例如當局曾表示有意限制議員在財務委員會特別會議上提出的問題；並表示議員在恢復二讀及全體委員會審議階段提出大量修正案，是要阻延撥款通過。
In my view in the past few years the Government has intentionally limited the chances for Members to scrutinize the Budget . For example the authorities have indicated their intention to restrict the number of questions put by Members at the special meetings of the Financial Committee; they have also accused Members of delaying the passing of the Vote on Account by proposing a large number of amendments after the resumption of Second Reading and during the Committee stage
當然，前主席曾鈺成過去已立下多個先例，裁減有意義的修正案。
Former President Jasper TSANG had undoubtedly set many precedents by rejecting those meaningful amendments
反對這項臨時撥款決議案的理由實在太多，包括決議案的資料太簡單、太粗疏，根本無法認真審議。
There are actually too many reasons for opposing the Vote on Account Resolution eg . the information therein is too simplistic and too slapdash making it impossible for a serious scrutiny to be conducted
決議案指明，除另有規定外，各開支總目和分目的臨時撥款中的經常開支，應佔整體預算案的20%；而有關總目下非經常開支的臨時撥款，則不應超過該總目非經常開支全年預算的100%。
According to the Resolution unless stated otherwise the funds on account in respect of recurrent expenditure under each head and subhead of expenditure should account for 20 % of the overall estimated expenditure while the funds on account in respect of non - recurrent expenditure under the relevant head should not exceed 100 % of the estimated annual non - recurrent expenditure under that head
我剛出任議員時也不明白，為何取24%的撥款只足夠兩個月的開支，理應足夠3個月使用，但原來事實並非如此。
When I first became a Member I also could not figure out why 24 % of the annual provisions could only meet the expenditure for two months; supposedly the amount should be sufficient for three months . However that is not really the case
在臨時撥款中，不少總目的臨時撥款佔全年開支20%以上，當中非經常性開支可以全額取用。
The funds on account under many heads represent over 20 % of the annual expenditure the non - recurrent expenditure of which can actually be utilized in full
舉例來說，在"總目53 ─ 政府總部：民政事務局"的臨時撥款佔全年預算的26%；"總目148 ─ 政府總部：財經事務及庫務局"的臨時撥款佔全年預算34%；"總目166 ─ 政府飛行服務隊"的臨時撥款更佔全年預算67%。
For example the funds on account under Head 53―Government Secretariat Home Affairs Bureau account for 26 % of the estimated annual expenditure; the funds on account under Head 148―Government Secretariat Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau account for 34 % of the estimated annual expenditure; while the funds on account under Head 166―Government Flying Service even account for 67 % of the estimated annual expenditure
政府解釋，總目下的臨時撥款包括經常開支及非經常開支。
As explained by the Government the funds on account under each head comprise recurrent and non - recurrent expenditure
翻查紀錄，2009年內務委員會曾成立一個審議臨時撥款決議案的小組委員會，討論臨時撥款決議案。
According to records a Subcommittee was set up by the House Committee to scrutinize and discuss the Vote on Account Resolution in 2009
然而，即使當年成立了小組委員會，政府亦未曾提交文件，詳列各個總目中屬於臨時撥款的經常開支及非經常開支的金額。
However even with the establishment of the Subcommittee the Government had never submitted any documents with a detailed breakdown of the amounts of funds on account by recurrent and non - recurrent expenditures
由此可見，即使成立小組委員會，亦無法提供令市民滿意的資料。
From this we can see that the public will not be provided with satisfactory information even if a Subcommittee is set up
以教育開支為例，2017-2018年度總預算573億元中，臨時撥款佔131億元。
Of the total estimated expenditure of 57.3 billion for the year 2017 - 2018 the funds on account took up 13.1 billion
我非常肯定，這筆臨時撥款一定包括教育局局長吳克儉寧死也不肯取消的基本能力評估研究計劃的開支。
I am pretty sure that the funds on account include the expenditure for the Basic Competency Assessment BCA research scheme which Secretary for Education Eddie NG would rather die than scrap
根據BCA推行的時間表，2017年5月11日至12日將會舉行全港性小學六年級說話及視聽資訊評估，並在6月13日和14日舉行小學三年級紙筆評估。
According to the BCA timetable territory - wide speaking and audio - visual assessments for Primary Six students will be conducted between 11 and 12 May 2017 while written assessments for Primary Three students will be conducted between 13 and 14 June
政府其後發表新聞公告，指根據預算，修繕官邸損耗地方和破舊設施的預計開支是83萬元，當中39萬元用作修繕建築物和地台、4萬元用作更換地毯、18萬元用作翻新外牆、16萬元用作更換家居裝置，以及6萬元用作工程應急費用。
The Government has subsequently issued a press release noting that the estimated expenditure for renovating the wear and tear in the official residence and repairing the worn - out amenities is 830,000 . Of this amount 390,000 will be used for renovating the building and the flooring; 40,000 for replacing the carpets; 180,000 for refurbishing the exterior walls; 160,000 for replacing household equipment; and 60,000 for emergency works
有關工程預計在3月完成。
The works are expected to be completed in March
但是，究竟工程"尾數"會否納入新年度預算案中的臨時撥款，實在無從得知。
However it remains unknown whether the outstanding balances of the works will be entered in the Budget for the next year
以上兩個涉及教育局和財政司司長辦公室總目的臨時撥款，無可避免包含吳克儉和陳茂波的月薪。
The funds on account under the two heads relating to the Education Bureau and the Office of the Financial Secretary will inevitably include the monthly emoluments of Mr Eddie NG and Mr Paul CHAN
在審議預算案時，我將會提出削減這兩位司局長的薪酬。
During the scrutiny of the Budget I will propose docking their emoluments
吳克儉漠視BCA對學童的傷害，亦無視兩位熱門特首候選人林鄭月娥和曾俊華要求取消TSA的訴求。
Mr Eddie NG has disregarded the harm of BCA on students and turned a blind eye to the request of the two odds - on favourites in the Chief Executive election Carrie LAM and John TSANG for scrapping TSA
即使敗訴，政府仍會繼續使用這筆臨時撥款進行上訴，耗費公帑與民意作對。
Even if the Government loses the case it will continue to use the funds on account for lodging appeals using public money to counter members of the public
因此，我反對總目92下的臨時撥款。
Hence I oppose the funds on account under head 92
最後，臨時撥款亦包含行政長官辦公室的20%撥款，這筆撥款必然包含行政長官兩個月的薪酬。
Lastly the Vote on Account also includes 20 % of funding for the Chief Executives Office . This amount of funds on account will definitely include two months of emoluments for the Chief Executive
我呼籲各位反對這項臨時撥款決議案。
I call on Members to oppose the Vote on Account Resolution
主席，我謹動議二讀《旅遊業條例草案》。
President I move the Second Reading of the Travel Industry Bill the Bill
《條例草案》的主要目的，是設立獨立法定規管機構旅遊業監管局，以負責旅行代理商、導遊和領隊的發牌和規管事宜。
The main purpose of the Bill is to establish an independent statutory regulatory body the Travel Industry Authority TIA to be responsible for the licensing and regulation of travel agents tourist guides and tour escorts
政府制定《條例草案》的政策目標，是提升旅遊業界的專業水平，促進行業健康長遠發展。
The Governments policy objectives of formulating the Bill are to enhance the professionalism of the travel trade and foster the healthy long - term development of the industry
多年來，政府十分重視本港旅遊業的可持續發展，大部分旅遊業界人士亦一直妥善經營業務。
Over the years the Government has attached great importance to the sustainable development of Hong Kongs travel industry and a majority of travel trade members have been carrying on their business properly
然而，過去在內地入境旅遊市場中曾發生旅客遭受強迫購物的事故，當中更曾涉及旅客傷亡，業內亦曾有其他不同類型的違規個案。
However in the Mainland inbound tourism market there have been incidents of visitors being coerced into shopping some of which have even involved the injuries and deaths of visitors and there have been other types of non - compliance cases in the trade
這些事件難免損害本港旅遊業的形象和聲譽，以致有訴求要改革現時的規管制度。
These incidents have inevitably tarnished the image and reputation of our travel industry calling for a need to reform the existing regulatory regime
政府於2011年4月進行為期10星期的公眾諮詢，並因應諮詢所達的普遍共識，於同年12月宣布決定成立一個獨立法定機構。
The Government launched a 10 - week public consultation exercise in April 2011 and in response to the general consensus reached after the consultation announced in December of the same year its decision to establish an independent statutory body that is TIA
現時旅行代理商註冊處和香港旅遊業議會各自的發牌和規管業界的職能，將在新規管制度下交由旅監局負責，全面公正地規管旅行代理商、導遊和領隊。
Under the new regulatory regime TIA will take up the current licensing and trade regulatory roles from the Travel Agents Registry and the Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong TIC respectively so as to regulate travel agents tourist guides and tour escorts in a holistic and impartial manner
整體而言，《條例草案》有三大重點，分別是：成立旅監局，作為本港旅遊業的規管機構；透過法定發牌制度規管業界，打擊嚴重不良行為，以及透過成立旅遊業發展基金，促進行業健康長遠發展。
Overall speaking the Bill has three key elements namely establishing TIA as the regulatory body for our travel industry; regulating the trade and combating serious unscrupulous acts through a statutory licensing regime; and fostering the healthy long - term development of the industry through the establishment of the Travel Industry Development Fund
在旅監局的成立方面，該局會由非業界成員佔大多數，以樹立公正持平的形象。
On the composition of TIA non - travel trade members will be in the majority to establish an impartial image
政府建議旅監局共有30名成員，其中17名為非旅遊業界成員，即主席、由旅遊事務專員出任的副主席，以及非旅遊業界成員；其餘13名則為旅遊業界成員，即旅行代理商、導遊和領隊的代表。
The Government proposes that TIA should consist of 30 members of whom 17 are non - travel trade members and 13 are travel trade members
新規管制度主要在3個層面規管業界，分別是經《條例草案》而制定的主體法例、附屬法例，以及由旅監局制訂和發布的行政措施。
The new regulatory regime will regulate the trade mainly from three aspects namely the primary legislation to be enacted through the Bill subsidiary legislation and the administrative measures to be formulated and promulgated by TIA
主體法例和附屬法例會列明若干針對主要不良行為的刑事罪行，違例者一經定罪，最高可處罰款和監禁；如違例者是持牌人，另須面對《條例草案》所訂的紀律程序。
Certain criminal offences targeted at major unscrupulous acts will be set out in the primary and subsidiary legislation . Offenders on conviction will be liable to a maximum penalty of a fine and imprisonment and those who are licensees will be additionally subject to the disciplinary proceedings stipulated in the Bill
持牌人如只違反行政措施，則須面對紀律程序。
Licensees who contravene only the administrative measures will be subject to the disciplinary proceedings
在發牌制度方面，《條例草案》會擴大關於旅行代理商的發牌對象範圍。
As regards the licensing regime the Bill will widen the scope of persons to be licensed as travel agents
除了在香港經營出境及/或入境旅遊業務活動的人士外，任何人在香港境外經營出境旅遊業務活動，並在香港境內或從香港境外，向香港大眾積極推廣有關活動，均須領取牌照。
Besides those who carry on any outbound andor inbound travel business activities in Hong Kong any persons who carry on any outbound travel business activities at a place outside Hong Kong and actively market whether in Hong Kong or from a place outside Hong Kong to the public of Hong Kong any such activities will be required to obtain licences
此舉旨在把本港外遊市場內日趨普及的網上旅行代理商納入新規管制度，向本港外遊旅客提供更大保障。
This is to make online travel agents which have become increasingly popular in Hong Kongs outbound tourism market also come under the new regulatory regime so as to afford greater protection to the outbound travellers of Hong Kong
《條例草案》中關於旅行代理商的發牌和續牌要求會參考現行規定而訂，即在《旅行代理商條例》之下關於申請人是否適合持牌的考慮因素，以及旅議會現有規定。
The requirements for issuing and renewing travel agent licences in the Bill will be drawn up with reference to the current requirements that is the factors for considering whether an applicant is suitable to hold a licence under the Travel Agents Ordinance and the existing requirements imposed by TIC
《條例草案》亦增訂若干新規定，包括引入以銀行擔保形式繳存保證金和委任獲授權代表等要求，並在審批發牌和續牌申請時考慮相關因素，例如涉及暴力行為或《商品說明條例》所訂罪行的定罪紀錄。
The Bill will also introduce certain new requirements including the requirements of depositing guarantee money by bank guarantee and appointing authorized representatives and allow TIA to consider the relevant factors when vetting and approving applications for licences and renewal of licences
另外，《條例草案》會就導遊和領隊設立法定發牌制度，以取代旅議會現時以行政方式推行的核證制度。
Moreover the Bill will establish a statutory licensing regime for tourist guides and tour escorts to replace the existing accreditation system implemented by TIC administratively
有關發牌和續牌的要求，會參考旅議會的現行規定而訂。
The requirements for issuing and renewing licences will be drawn up with reference to TICs current requirements
導遊和領隊每次續牌時，亦須先完成指定持續專業進修計劃，以提升他們的服務質素和專業水平。
Tourist guides and tour escorts upon each licence renewal will also be required to have completed the specified Continuing Professional Development Scheme so as to enhance their service quality and professionalism
旅監局在審批發牌和續牌申請時，會全面考慮申請人是否適合持牌，例如顧及他們涉及相關罪行的定罪紀錄。
When vetting and approving applications for licences and renewal of licences TIA will comprehensively consider whether the applicants are suitable to hold licences such as by having regard to their conviction records of relevant offences if any
為打擊旅遊業界的不良行為，包括無牌經營旅行代理商業務或從事導遊或領隊工作、與不合資格的內地旅行社合作、沒有在旅遊車上展示所接載旅行團的相關資料等，《條例草案》載有相關刑事罪行的條文。
To combat unscrupulous acts in the travel trade the Bill contains provisions on relevant criminal offences
鑒於強迫購物的問題尤其困擾業界多時，《條例草案》亦會賦權旅監局透過附屬法例訂明牌照條件，禁止旅行代理商和導遊作出任何強迫購物的行為。
As the trade has been vexed in particularly by the problem of coerced shopping for a long time the Bill will also empower TIA to prescribe licence conditions through subsidiary legislation to prohibit travel agents and tourist guides from committing any act of coerced shopping
違反牌照條件的旅行代理商和導遊，會受到刑事處分及/或紀律制裁。
Any travel agent or tourist guide that breaches a licence condition will be subject to criminal penalties andor disciplinary orders
我們理解，導遊和領隊身為業界前線從業員，工作時主要按照旅行代理商的指示行事。
We recognize that tourist guides and tour escorts as frontline trade practitioners mainly follow travel agents instructions whilst working
《條例草案》會賦權旅監局制訂一系列行政措 施，以協助釐清他們的工作關係，並加強保障導遊和領隊的權益。
The Bill will empower TIA to formulate a series of administrative measures to help clarify their working relationships and better protect the interests of tourist guides and tour escorts
有關措施包括規定旅行代理商向導遊或領隊提供帶團工作單，以及與導遊或領隊簽訂服務協議，當中要求旅行代理商向他們支付服務報酬、不得要求他們承擔或不合理地墊支接待旅行團費用，亦不得拖欠他們已墊支的費用。
Such measures include requiring a travel agent to provide a job sheet for its tourist guides or tour escorts and to sign with its tourist guides or tour escorts a service agreement whereby it must pay them service remuneration must not require them to bear or unreasonably advance any payment for a tour group received and must not delay the reimbursement for any advance payment made by them
違反行政措施的旅行代理商，會受到紀律制裁。
Any travel agent that contravenes any of the administrative measures will be subject to disciplinary orders
《條例草案》會賦權旅監局成立紀律委員會，成員來自旅遊及非旅遊業界，當中非業界成員為多數。
The Bill will empower TIA to establish a disciplinary committee the members of which are to be drawn from both within and outside the travel trade with non - trade members being in the majority
紀律委員會負責就關乎持牌人的投訴和涉嫌不當行為的個案進行研訊，並作出紀律制裁命令，例如警告、扣分、罰款、暫時吊銷以至撤銷牌照。
The disciplinary committee will be responsible for conducting inquiries into cases of complaint or suspected misconduct against licensees and making disciplinary orders such as warnings demerit points financial penalties and licence suspension or revocation
任何持牌人對有關紀律制裁命令感到不滿，可向獨立於旅監局、由政府委任的上訴委員團提出上訴。
Any licensee aggrieved by a disciplinary order may lodge an appeal with an appeal panel which is independent of TIA and appointed by the Government
為確保上訴委員團獨立，全部成員會由商務及經濟發展局局長委任，並且不得為公職人員、旅監局成員或該局轄下任何委員會的成員。另外，旅監局轄下會有一個由商務及經濟發展局局長委任的獨立小組，處理消費者與持牌人之間不涉及紀律事宜的爭議。
To ensure the appeal panels independence all members of the appeal panel will be appointed by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development and any
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：《旅遊業條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the Travel Industry Bill be read the Second time
代理主席，旅遊業是香港經濟其中一個重要支柱，無論在推動經濟的發展及提供就業機會方面均扮演着重要的角色。
Deputy President tourism is one of the important pillars of the Hong Kong economy . It plays an important role in promoting economic development and providing employment opportunities
旅遊業的蓬勃直接帶動其他行業的發展，例如零售、住宿、餐飲及我所屬的運輸和物流業。
The vibrancy of the tourism industry directly drives the development of other industries such as retail accommodation food and beverage and transportation and logistics to which I belong
就以的士為例，它是旅客首選的交通工具，因此旅客增加便有助增加的士司機的收入。
Let me take taxi as an example . Since it is the visitors preferred means of transport increasing visitor arrivals is thus conducive to the increase of taxi drivers income
鑒於旅遊業對香港的經濟發展十分重要，我們應該不斷提升旅遊競爭力，促進旅遊業的持續發展。
Given the great importance of tourism on the economic development of Hong Kong we should keep enhancing our competitiveness in tourism to promote the sustainable development of the industry
因應旅遊業帶來龐大收益，近年周邊地區均積極發展旅遊業，增添不少新的旅遊設施。
In light of the huge profits brought by tourism our peripheral regions are proactively developing their tourism industry in recent years with many new tourism facilities
香港單憑購物天堂及美食之都的"老本"作為吸引旅客的賣點已不奏效；加上環球經濟不景氣，去年整體訪港旅客較2015年下跌4.5%至5,670多萬人次，是連續第二年錄得全年跌幅。
It is no longer effective for Hong Kong to rest solely on its laurels as a shoppers paradise and a culinary capital for attracting visitors; and coupled with the global economic downturn the overall visitor arrivals last year dropped by 4.5 % to some 56.7 million as compared with 2015 which was an annual decrease for the second year in a row
作為本港主要客源的內地旅客，跌幅更高達6.7%。
The number of Mainland visitors being our major visitor source has even dropped by as much as 6.7 %
我們的確有必要正視訪港旅客數目持續下滑的問題，甚至必須重整旅遊資源，以提升本地旅遊業的競爭力，鞏固香港作為亞洲主要旅遊城市的地位。
Indeed it is necessary for us to face up to the problem of continuous decline of visitor arrivals we may even have to rationalize our tourism resources to enhance the competitiveness of the local tourism industry so as to reinforce Hong Kongs status as Asias major tourist city
隨着港珠澳大橋將於不久將來建成並通車，加上機場北商業區的發展，預計訪港旅客數量將會有所增加。
With the completion and commissioning of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge in the near future as well as the development of the Airport North Commercial District an increase in the number of inbound visitors is anticipated
因此，我認為擴建迪士尼樂園是有必要的。
Thus I consider it necessary to expand the Disneyland
香港景點老化及了無新意是不爭的事實，但旅遊業的發展正朝向多樣化，開拓多元化的新旅遊景點因而事在必行。
It is an indisputable fact that tourist attractions in Hong Kong are ageing and lacking in novelty . However as the tourism industry is developing in the direction of diversification it is thus imperative to develop diversified new tourist attractions
當局應該投放更多資源，以建立更多具規模、具創意、具特色的旅遊項目，從而提供多元化的旅遊設施，讓旅客有更多選擇，以滿足海外旅客的不同要求。
The authorities should put in more resources for developing tourism projects of scale creativity and characteristics thereby providing a variety of tourism facilities with more choices for visitors so as to meet various demands of overseas visitors
與此同時，當局亦要善用現有的旅遊資源，例如郊野公園、地質公園、博物館、古物古蹟等，通過整合、修葺、包裝、宣傳等手法，提高這些既有旅遊設施的吸引力，為我們的旅遊資源增加新元素。
Meanwhile the authorities also have to make optimal use of existing tourism resources such as country parks geoparks museums antiquities and monuments and so on and enhance the attractiveness of these tourism facilities through collation renovation packaging and promotion so as to put in new elements to our tourism resources
舉例而言，就如巴士環島遊，雖然現時已有開篷雙層巴士，但經過包裝 後，近日便有"水晶巴士"推出，旅客除可坐在巴士欣賞香港的風景外，還可品嘗地道點心，這又是另一種旅遊體驗。
For instance although city tours are now provided by open - top double decker buses the Crystal Bus was launched in recent days after packaging . Visitors not only can take a ride to enjoy the scenery of Hong Kong they can also taste local dim sum en route . This is another kind of travel experience
我們應該歡迎這些新產品，亦應該多予鼓勵。
We should welcome such new products and more encouragement should be made
大嶼山一直擔當香港後花園的角色，但現時的旅遊景點過分集中在北大嶼山，當中包括迪士尼樂園、昂坪寶蓮寺和天壇大佛、東涌吊車及大澳水鄉等，假日及旅遊旺季時旅遊配套設施不勝負荷。
Lantau Island has been playing the role as the back garden of Hong Kong . However at present the tourist attractions are over concentrated in North Lantau which include the Disneyland Po Lin Monastery cum the Big Buddha Statue in Ngong Ping the cable car in Tung Chung and the fishing settlement in Tai O . During holidays and peak travel seasons the complementary tourist facilities are overloaded
政府應善用南大嶼山的天然旅遊資源及景點，如貝澳、長沙及塘福等傳統度假地區，透過較完善的旅遊基礎設施，除發揮分流旅客的作用外，還可帶動區內的發展。
The Government should make good use of the natural tourism resources and scenic spots in South Lantau such as the traditional resort areas of Pui O Cheung Sha and Tong Fuk . Better tourism infrastructures should be developed in these places to divert visitors and drive local development
為配合大嶼山的發展，政府應考慮開放海天碼頭予本地市民及內地訪客使用，以完善大嶼山的交通規劃及配套。
In order to complement the development on Lantau the Government should consider opening the SkyPier for local residents and Mainland visitors so as to perfect Lantaus transport planning and ancillary facilities
不僅是硬件，軟件亦十分重要。
Not only hardware software is also very important
旅客對旅程是否滿意，景點的吸引力固然重要，但服務質素亦不能忽視。
While the appeal of scenic spots is certainly crucial to a visitors satisfaction of his journey the quality of service should not be neglected as well
對於人生路不熟的旅客，的士是他們首選的交通工具，但旅程是否愉快便取決於的士司機的服務質素。
As visitors are not familiar with the place taxi is their preferred means of transport; and whether they have a pleasant ride hinges upon the service quality of taxi drivers
雖然優質的士服務督導委員會每年舉辦的士司機嘉許計劃，至今獲獎的司機相當多，加上過去的士司機拾遺不昧的個案亦多不勝數，但我不得不承認，一顆老鼠糞便足以毀掉整鍋粥。
Although the Quality Taxi Services Steering Committee organizes the Taxi Driver Commendation Scheme every year and quite a number of drivers have been awarded so far and there are also numerous cases of drivers returning found property to its owner in the past I must admit that a little mouse dropping is enough to spoil a whole pot of porridge
一小撮害群之馬濫收車資、"劏遊客"，會嚴重影響其他守規經營、努力為乘客提供優質服務的的士司機。
A small group of black sheep of the taxi trade over - charging fares and ripping off tourists will seriously affect other law - abiding taxi drivers who endeavour to provide quality services to passengers . As the saying goes A good deed goes unnoticed but scandal spreads fast
所謂"好事不出門，壞事傳千里"，為保香港旅遊之都的聲譽，因此確保的士服務質素十分重要。
In order to uphold Hong Kongs reputation as a premier tourist city it is thus crucial to ensure the quality of taxi services
我希望警方加強對的士違規行為執法，並要求法庭予以嚴懲，重判屢犯者之餘，甚至應考慮吊銷涉事者的執照及予以監禁，以起阻嚇作用，杜絕"賊的"或"黑的"。
I hope that the Police will enhance its enforcement against taxi malpractices and request the court to impose severe punishments . In addition to imposing heavy penalties on repeat offenders revocation of licence and imprisonment of the person involved should be considered for achieving deterrent effect thus wiping out bandit taxis or black taxis
對於葉劉淑儀議員及陸頌雄議員的修正案中建議，成立專責政策局負責推動旅遊業，自由黨對這提議是有保留的，因為現時商務及經濟發展局轄下已設有旅遊事務署，加上香港旅遊發展局，如果再另設一個旅遊局，我們便覺得有架床疊屋之嫌。
As for setting up a Policy Bureau dedicated to promoting tourism as proposed by Mrs Regina IP and Mr LUK Chung - hung in their amendments the Liberal Party has reservation about this proposal . This is because the Tourism Commission is now established under the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau and there is also the Hong Kong Tourism Board if a Tourism Bureau is established there might be duplication and redundancy
我們覺得，目前的問題是各個政策局各自為政，欠缺溝通及協調，導致政策未能有效推行。
In our view the present problem lies in the fragmented administration amongst various Policy Bureaux and the lack of communication and coordination resulted in the failure of effective implementation of policies
如果不設法解決目前的施政困局，再增設一個政策局也是於事無補。
If no measure is made to resolve the present predicament in governance setting up one more Policy Bureau is still of no avail
香港的旅遊基建及配套設施的發展遠較鄰近地區緩慢，因此當局必須急起直追，提供更多新旅遊資源，讓旅客有多元化的旅遊體驗，滿足不同市場的需要，以促進旅遊業持續發展。
The development of tourism infrastructures and ancillary facilities in Hong Kong lags far behind our neighbouring regions . Therefore the authorities must catch up and provide more new tourism resources to allow visitors to have diversified travel experiences and meet the need of different markets so as to promote the sustainable development of the tourism industry
主席，自2003年自由行實施以來，內地來港旅客的數目與日俱增，而中港矛盾也日益加劇，當中的恩恩怨怨，因因果果，實不易說清。
President since the implementation of the Individual Visit Scheme in 2003 the number of Mainland visitor arrivals has been on the rise and the China - Hong Kong conflicts have also been intensified . The resentment and grievances involved as well as the causes and effects cannot be clearly accounted for
近年內地的民族主義情緒高漲，民族主義情緒很容易被煽動，如果某國家或地區做了一些內地人不喜歡的事，他們動不動便說杯葛，不到那些地方旅遊。
In recent years the national sentiment in the Mainland has remained high and such sentiment can easily be instigated . For example if certain countries or regions have done something that displeased some Mainlanders they are apt to launch boycotts by refusing to travel to those places
例如台灣蔡英文當選總統，他們就說台灣選了一位台獨總統，在政府推波助瀾下，中國內地到台灣的旅客數目大減。
For example after TSAI Ing - wen became the President of Taiwan many Mainlanders claimed that an advocate of Taiwan Independence was elected and being fueled by the Governments they stopped visiting Taiwan . Thus the number of Mainland visitors to Taiwan plummeted
近日韓國為了保護自己免受北韓的導彈攻擊而部署薩德反導彈系統，又有不少中國人，不知是否因而仇視韓國，取消到韓國旅行。
Recently South Korea deployed the THAAD anti - missile defence system to guard against North Koreas missile attack . I am not sure whether the anti - Korean sentiment is thus aroused and many Chinese have cancelled their tours to South Korea
