主席，我認為要推動香港的旅遊業發展，政府需要加強相關政策局和部門的合作，所以我認同並支持葉劉淑儀議員的建議，成立專責推動旅遊事務的政策局，專責處理所有旅遊事務，減少政府部門各自為政的情況，並有效地統籌各項促進旅遊發展的工作和政策。
President in order to promote the development of the tourism industry of Hong Kong the Government has to strengthen cooperation among relevant Policy Bureaux and departments . Thus I agree to and support Mrs Regina IPs proposal of setting up a Policy Bureau dedicated to promoting tourism and handling all tourism matters . This will lessen the problem of lack of coordination among departments and be conducive to effectively coordinating different work and policies to promote tourism development
我希望政府能夠多管齊下，紓解旅遊業萎靡不振的問題，並發展多元化的旅遊項目，以提升本港旅遊業的吸引力和競爭力。
I hope that the Government can adopt a multi - pronged approach to alleviate the problem of Hong Kongs deteriorating tourism industry and develop diversified tourism projects to enhance its attractiveness and competitiveness
主席，旅遊業是香港傳統支柱產業，對本港GDP和就業帶來不少貢獻。
President as a traditional pillar industry of Hong Kong the tourism industry has contributed significantly to local GDP and employment
在2003年SARS後，旅遊業亦是令香港經濟突破困局的契機。
In the aftermath of the SARS outbreak in 2003 the tourism industry has also provided an opportunity for the Hong Kong economy to break through its economic deadlock
然而，隨着世界各地主要經濟體實施量化寬鬆貨幣政策，不同國家的幣值及購買力出現變化，加上針對社會承受能力等其他複雜爭議尚未完全解決，本港近兩年的旅客數目和消費增長均呈下降趨勢。
However as major economies worldwide have implemented the qualitative easing monetary policy the value of currency and purchasing power of various countries have changed coupled with the fact that other complicated disputes in respect of the receiving capacity of the community have yet to be completely resolved the number of visitor arrivals and rate of consumption growth have exhibited a downward trend in the recent two years
事實上，香港旅遊業已走到發展的十字路口，單純追求旅客數目和消費 增長的難度和副作用已顯著增加。
In fact the development of Hong Kongs tourism industry has already reached a crossroads . The difficulty and side effects of solely pursuing visitor arrivals and consumption growth have remarkably increased
針對這個情況，香港要改善服務及開發新旅遊產品吸引目標旅客，以免因旅客繼續流失而影響業界從業員就業，以及相關零售、航空及交通行業的業務；同時亦要解決旅客集中在某些地區購物或旅遊的問題，以防影響當地居民的日常生活，產生社會矛盾。
In view of this situation it is necessary for Hong Kong to improve services and develop new tourism products to attract target visitors . This would help prevent the continued loss of visitors from affecting the employment of practitioners in the industry and the businesses of related industries such as retail aviation and transport . Meanwhile the problems of visitors mainly go to certain districts for shopping and leisure travel should also be addressed so as to avoid affecting the daily life of local residents giving rise to social conflicts
本港旅遊業需要解決的問題，涵蓋旅遊硬件，包括公共交通、酒店、本地旅遊及康樂設施等；也包括軟件，例如旅遊商品供應、商品質素、高昂商鋪租金，以及文化差異衝突等，政府難以單靠傳統思維化解。
The problems of the tourism industry to be addressed cover both tourism hardware including public transport hotels local tourism and recreational facilities; as well as software including the supply of tourism products product quality high shop rentals as well as cultural differences and conflicts . It is difficult for the Government to resolve these issues simply with a conventional mindset
我十分認同剛才姚思榮議員及其他議員就議案提出的意見，應全面梳理香港具旅遊價值的資源，由跨部門、跨單位的組織共同合作，尋求新的旅遊亮點，按新的世界潮流重新檢討旅遊規管法例，以應對來自周邊旅遊城市的競爭。
I strongly concur with the views expressed by Mr YIU Si - wing and other Members on the motion just now . It is necessary to collate all the resources with tourism values in Hong Kong and explore new tourist attractions with inter - departmental inter - agency cooperation . In the face of the competition from neighbouring tourist destinations legislation regulating the tourism industry should be reviewed afresh in line with the new global trends
建議政府及業界多軌並行，一方面開拓傳統旅客市場，另一方面也要開發創新旅遊產品迎合新市場。
The Government and the industry are urged to adopt a multi - pronged approach by developing the traditional tourist market on the one hand and exploring innovative tourism products to cater for the new market on the other
我並非旅遊方面的專家，但對香港的旅遊發展有4個簡單願景。
I am not an expert on tourism but I have four simple visions for the development of Hong Kongs tourism industry
首先，香港應發展成為好客城市，任何一個旅遊城市都應該善待遊客，政府宜加強宣傳，透過公民教育，引導市民重建香港作為好客之都的形象。
First Hong Kong should be developed into a hospitable city . All tourist destinations should be friendly to their tourists . The Government should step up publicity and civic education to guide the public to reconstruct Hong Kongs image as a hospitable city
第二，香港應發展成為文化城市，好好利用本港長期以來中外文化交融的特點，既弘揚中國文化，也保留過往殖民地色彩的歷史，迎合不同地區遊客的興趣。
Second Hong Kong should be developed into a cultural city by capitalizing on its long - standing characteristic as a city blending the Chinese and foreign cultures . In addition to promoting the Chinese culture we have also retained our past colonial flavour to cater for the interests of tourists from different places
第三，香港亦應發展成為美食城市。
Third Hong Kong should also be developed into a gourmet city
除推廣香港匯聚世界各地的美食外，政府亦應善用和活化空置設施，參考新加坡"大牌檔"及台灣夜市模式，發展更多港式地方美食。
In addition to promoting Hong Kong as a city boasting delicacies from around the world the Government should also better utilize and revitalize vacant facilities . With reference to the examples of Dai Pai Dong food stalls in Singapore and the night markets in Taiwan more delicacies with Hong Kong characteristics can be developed
最後，香港應發展成為購物城市，購物不一定限於高消費品或日用品，也可推廣老婆餅、雞蛋仔之類的土產。
Lastly Hong Kong should be developed into a shopping city . Shopping is not necessarily confined to luxury products or daily necessities; we may also promote locally produced products such as wife cake and mini - egg puff
政府要嚴打少數破壞香港購物天堂美譽的經營者，包括以斤變兩、假貨充真貨的壞分子，追究違法者的刑責，重建香港的購物聲譽。
The Government should crack down on the minority of shop operators who sabotage Hong Kongs reputation as a shoppers paradise including those unscrupulous operators who tried to replace catty with tael and pass fake products off as real ones . The law - breakers should be held criminally accountable in order to reconstruct Hong Kongs reputation as a shopping centre
現時一些發展勢頭不錯的項目，應繼續予以推廣，包括舉辦大型活動或賽事旅遊。
Those projects with good development momentum at present should continue to be promoted such as mega events or event tourism
國際龍舟賽、帆船賽、電動方程式賽車、欖球賽等國際賽事的確可吸引大批旅客，而這些旅遊賣點能避免旅遊資源和港人社會資源重疊的矛盾，突顯香港的旅遊活力。
International sports events such as the Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races yacht races Formula E races and rugby races can attract a large number of visitors . The selling point of these tourism events is that they can avoid conflicts arising from any overlapping of tourism resources and the community resources of the Hong Kong people highlighting the vitality of Hong Kongs tourism
第二，應重視家庭旅遊的發展趨勢，有策略地發揮迪士尼樂園及海洋公園這一類大型標誌性家庭旅遊項目的作用，配合園區酒店留客過夜，吸引遊客舉家到港旅遊消費，盡享家庭樂。
Second the Government should attach importance to the development trend of family tourism and strategically give play to the role of large - scale family tourism attractions such as the Hong Kong Disneyland and the Ocean Park . The hotels in the amusement parks should be coordinated to receive overnight visitors . In this way more tourists will be attracted to travel to Hong Kong and spend money with their whole family here thereby maximizing the enjoyment of their families
第三，發展生態旅遊。
Third develop ecological tourism
剛才多位議員都有提及，香港的自然生態資源並不遜色，已成為世界地質公園網絡的成員之一。
Many Members have mentioned just now that Hong Kongs natural and ecological resources compare favourably with those of other places and Hong Kong has become a member of the Global Geoparks Network
我們設有濕地及郊野公園，可吸引外地行山者留港消費。
We have wetland and country parks which attract foreign hikers to stay and spend in Hong Kong
政府應按自然保育及可持續發展的原則加強推廣綠色旅遊，改善郊野公園設施，既能擺脫旅遊產品單一的困局，亦能將單純的觀光遊升級為深度遊。
The Government should step up the promotion of green travel in line with the principles of nature conservation and sustainable development as well as improve the facilities in country parks . This can not only diversify our homogeneous tourism products but can also upgrade purely sightseeing tourism to in - depth tourism
第四，發展美食文化遊。
Fourth develop gourmet and cultural tourism
香港不同地區的旅遊資源，應包裝成具地道特色的旅遊產品，以推廣具本地特色的美食和文化體驗團，如客家圍村、大澳漁村等便是好例子。
The tourism resources in various districts of Hong Kong should be packaged as tourism products with local characteristics to promote gourmet and cultural experience tours . For example the Hakka walled villages and fishing villages in Tai O etc . are good examples
旅客在本港具特色的地區品嘗地道美食，如點心、盆菜和海鮮等，別具風味。
Tourists will get a distinctive taste when they enjoy local delicacies such as dim sum Poon Choi and seafood in places with local characteristics
總括而言，香港應將本地特色轉化為旅遊資源，好好加以利用，為旅遊業帶來突破。
In sum Hong Kong should turn local characteristics into tourism resources and make good use of them in order to make a breakthrough in the tourism industry
主席，各位同事，旅遊業是香港重要的支柱產業，為多個行業帶來效益，增加基層市民的就業機會。
President and Honourable colleagues the tourism industry is an important pillar industry in Hong Kong . It brings benefits to many industries and increases employment opportunities for the grass roots
旅遊亦是市民的一種生活方式，欣賞美景，增廣見聞，為個人生活帶來歡愉。
Tourism is also a lifestyle which enables people to admire beautiful scenery and broaden their horizons so as to bring happiness to their personal lives
隨着交通和網絡信息發達，旅遊的方式開始發生明顯的變化。
With the advancements in transport and the information boom on the Internet the modes of tourism have started to undergo noticeable changes
以旅遊目的和消費行為來劃分，我嘗試將遊客歸併為3類。
Here I try to classify tourists into three categories by travel purpose and consumer behaviour
第一類是傳統型遊客，此類遊客年紀較大，或以一家大小一起外遊為主，出遊時間短，遊覽目的地多，一般要求是走馬看花、能到此一遊便滿足。
The first category consists of traditional tourists who are older or mostly travel with their families . They tend to visit many destinations within a short period of travel and are generally satisfied as long as they can do some casual sightseeing upon their arrival at the destinations
第二類是成長在網絡時代的新世代。
The second category consists of members of the new generation who have grown up in the Internet era
網民未出門已知天下事，習慣通過互聯網了解和分享目的地信息，關注當地的特色景點、文化、飲食、娛樂等，務求親身體驗民風民俗。
Netizens are able to know what is going on around the world without leaving their homes . They are used to acquiring and sharing information on destinations through the Internet and are interested in what the destinations offer in terms of special tourist attractions culture food and drinks entertainment and so on hoping to get first - hand experience of local folkways and customs
近期，哥本哈根官方旅遊推廣機構在公布2020年發展策略時指出，新世代旅客期望得到的並不是完美無瑕的風景照，而是由愛好、人際關係與城市的真實面貌構成的即時體驗，以及這些體驗與個人的連繫。
As recently pointed out by Copenhagens official body for tourism promotion when it unveiled its development strategy for 2020 a new - generation traveller seeks not the perfect still picture to take home but the emotional connection to an instantly shared experience based on interests relations and authenticity
第三類是大家較少談及的本地人遊客，即香港市民。
The third category which is less talked about consists of our local tourists that is Hong Kong people
我們在談論旅遊業的客源結構時，往往忽略這類客群。
This category of tourists is often overlooked when we discuss the composition of visitor sources of the tourism industry
事實上，不少旅遊景點能夠成功，最先是由本地需求帶動，然後才逐漸受到外來遊客的歡迎和捧場。
In fact the success of many tourist attractions was initially driven by local demand before they gradually became popular and found favour with foreign tourists . Take for example Japan which we are familiar with
以我們熟悉的日本為例，其不少旅遊景點是先滿足本地人的需求，配套成型後才向海外宣傳；一些旅遊項目甚至是依靠本地人，東京迪士尼樂園就是典型例子，本國遊客佔其訪客總數90%以上。
Many tourist attractions in Japan were promoted overseas only after they had satisfied the demand of local people and after their ancillary services had taken shape . Some of the tourism projects there even rely on local people . A typical case in point is Tokyo Disneyland with domestic tourists accounting for over 90 % of the total attendance
所以，當局在考慮旅遊規劃時，亦應研究港人的需要。
So when considering tourism planning the authorities should also take into account the needs of Hong Kong people
最近，大嶼山發展諮詢委員會在旅遊規劃研究中一併加入康樂休閒，這是正確和明智的做法。
The Lantau Development Advisory Committee has recently incorporated recreation and leisure into its study of tourism planning . This is a correct and wise move
因此，政府在制訂具前瞻性的旅遊策略時，不能只顧滿足第一類遊客的傳統需求，而忽略滿足第二及三類遊客的需要。今天我提出這項議案，是希望當局能夠打破傳統旅遊規劃的觀念，發揮本地旅遊資源的優勢，迎合現時消費群的變化，為香港旅遊業增添新的源泉和動力。回顧香港旅遊業過去10多年的發展，可謂天時、地利、人和三者俱備。
In the light of this when devising forward - looking tourism strategies the Government must not focus only on meeting the traditional demand of the tourists in the first category while ignoring the needs of the tourists in the second and third categories
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：姚思榮議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr YIU Si - wing be passed
我會依次請要動議修正案的葉劉淑儀議員、胡志偉議員、林健鋒議員、郭家麒議員、田北辰議員、周浩鼎議員及陸頌雄議員發言；但他們在現階段不可動議修正案。
I will call upon Members who move the amendments to speak in the following order Mrs Regina IP Mr WU Chi - wai Mr Jeffrey LAM Dr KWOK Ka - ki Mr Michael TIEN Mr Holden CHOW and Mr LUK Chung - hung; but they may not move the amendments at this stage
主席，我謹動議二讀《2017年稅務條例草案》。
President I move the Second Reading of the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017 the Bill
本《條例草案》的目的，是對《稅務條例》作出修訂，以落實2017-2018財政年度政府財政預算案所建議的稅務寬減措施。
The Bill seeks to amend the Inland Revenue Ordinance to give effect to the tax concession measures proposed in the 2017 - 2018 Budget
首先，恆常措施方面，條例草案訂明由2017-2018課稅年度起，在薪俸稅和個人入息課稅下作出以下調整： a 把邊際稅階由現時40,000元擴闊至45,000元。
First with regard to recurrent measures the Bill sets out the following adjustments to salaries tax and tax under personal assessment with effect from the year of assessment 2017 - 2018 a widening the marginal tax bands from 40,000 to 45,000
這項措施會惠及130萬名納稅人，政府每年的稅收會減少15億元； b 增加傷殘受養人免稅額，由現時66,000元增至75,000元。
This measure will benefit 1.3 million taxpayers and reduce tax revenue by 1.5 billion a year; b increasing the disabled dependant allowance from 66,000 to 75,000
這項措施會惠及35,000名納稅人，政府每年的稅收會減少5,000萬元； c 增加供養兄弟姊妹免稅額，由現時33,000元增至37,500元。
This measure will benefit 35 000 taxpayers and reduce tax revenue by 50 million a year; c increasing the dependent brothersister allowance from 33,000 to 37,500
這項措施會惠及23,800名納稅人，政府每年的稅收會減少1,300萬元； d 延長居所貸款利息扣除年期，由15個課稅年度增至20個課稅年度，最高扣減額則維持每年10萬元。
This measure will benefit 23 800 taxpayers and reduce tax revenue by 13 million a year; d extending the entitlement period for home loan interest deduction from 15 years to 20 years while maintaining the current deduction ceiling of 100,000 a year
政府每年的稅收會減少4億3,000萬元；及 e 增加個人進修開支的最高扣除額，由現時8萬元增至10萬元。
This measure will reduce tax revenue by 430 million a year; and e increasing the deduction ceiling for self - education expenses from 80,000 to 100,000
這項措施會惠及3,500名納稅人，政府每年的稅收會減少800萬元。
This measure will benefit 3 500 taxpayers and reduce tax revenue by 8 million a year
上述各項調整合共會令政府每年的稅收減少20億元。
The above adjustments will together reduce tax revenue by 2 billion each year
除了上述恆常措施外，《條例草案》亦訂明寬減2016-2017課稅年度75%的薪俸稅、個人入息課稅，以及利得稅，上述每個稅項的每宗個案以2萬元為上限。
In addition to the aforementioned recurrent measures the Bill also sets out a reduction of salaries tax tax under personal assessment and profits tax for the year of assessment 2016 - 2017 by 75 % subject to a ceiling of 20,000 per case
措施將惠及184萬名薪俸稅及個人入息課稅納稅人，以及132,000間須繳稅的法團及非法團業務。
The measure will benefit 1.84 million taxpayers of salaries tax and tax under personal assessment and 132 000 tax - paying corporations and unincorporated businesses
政府的收入將因而減少183億元。
Consequently Government revenue will be reduced by 18.3 billion
主席，我們已於3月1日向立法會發出的參考資料摘要中詳述有關的建議修訂。
President we have we set out the details of the proposed amendments in the Legislative Council brief issued on 1 March
我希望各位議員支持，並盡快通過《條例草案》，讓我們能早日實施有關的稅務措施。
I hope all Members will support and pass the Bill as soon as possible for early implementation of the taxation measures
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：《2017年稅務條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the Inland Revenue Amendment Bill 2017 be read the Second time
我希望議員支持這項議案，讓政府在2017年4月1日新財政年度開始至《2017年撥款條例》實施的一段期間，繼續獲得所需資源提供各項公共服務。
I hope Members will support this motion to enable the Government to carry on its public services with the resources needed between the start of the financial year on 1 April 2017 and the time when the Appropriation Ordinance 2017 comes into operation
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：財經事務及庫務局局長動議的議案，予以通過。
I now put the question to you and that is That the motion moved by the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury be passed
主席，首先，我感謝7位議員就我的原議案提出修正案。
President first of all I would like to thank the seven Members who have proposed amendments to my original motion . My purpose in moving the motion is to elicit valuable ideas and draw on collective wisdom
我動議議案目的是拋磚引玉、集思廣益，希望當局能夠認真聽取大家的意見，紓解旅遊業目前的困局。
I hope that the authorities can seriously listen to Members views and alleviate the current predicament of the tourism industry
葉劉淑儀議員的修正案提出成立專責推動旅遊事務的政策局，即成立旅遊局，這與旅遊業界的目標一致。
Mrs Regina IPs amendment proposes setting up a Policy Bureau dedicated to promoting tourism that is setting up a Tourism Bureau . This is in line with the tourism sectors objective
不過，我擔心短期內未能成立旅遊局，故建議政府不妨從成立跨部門的統籌委員會入手，先處理目前的發展問題。
Yet I am concerned that it may not be possible to set up a Tourism Bureau in the short term . That is why I have suggested that the Government should start off by establishing an inter - departmental coordination committee to tackle the existing development problems first
所以，我會支持葉劉淑儀議員的修正案。
So I will support Mrs Regina IPs amendment
胡志偉議員在修正案提出要嚴格遵守2007年發表的"經修訂的大嶼山發展概念計劃"，我不同意這項建議。
Mr WU Chi - wais amendment proposes strictly adhering to the Revised Concept Plan for Lantau released in 2007 . I do not agree to this proposal
既然大嶼山發展諮詢委員會已對整體規劃作出更新，我們就不應走回頭路，返回原本已不合時宜的方案。
As the Lantau Development Advisory Committee has updated the overall plan we should not take the retrograde step of going back to the original plan which is out of date
另外，胡議員在發言中提到要修改相關法例以支持共享經濟，並提及Airbnb的營運模式。
Moreover Mr WU has suggested in his speech that we should amend the relevant legislation to support the sharing economy alluding to the business model of Airbnb
這種模式根本不符合香港的實際情況，原因是香港人口密集，這種模式容易衍生很多安全和滋擾問題，亦對持牌賓館和酒店經營者不公，更不合法。
This model is simply out of keeping with the actual situation in Hong Kong because it can easily cause many safety and nuisance problems in our densely populated city and is unfair to operators of licensed guesthouses and hotels not to mention that it is illegal
所以，我會反對胡議員的修正案。
So I will oppose Mr WUs amendment
林健鋒議員提出的修正案，是在原議案的基礎上增加不少具體建議，包括發展高端的會展業和航空業。
Mr Jeffrey LAMs amendment adds in a number of specific proposals on the basis of the original motion including developing the high - end convention exhibition and aviation industries
其實，強化傳統旅遊業與充分發揮本地旅遊資源的優勢並無衝突，而且能起互補作用。
In fact there is no conflict between fortifying the traditional tourism industry and giving full play to the edges of local tourism resources and these two elements can complement each other
所以，我會支持林議員的修正案。
So I will support Mr LAMs amendment
郭家麒議員在修正案中將一些社會問題歸咎於自由行政策，措辭內容讓人以為自由行是激化內地與香港矛盾的元兇。
Dr KWOK Ka - ki in his amendment blames certain social problems on the policy on Individual Visit Scheme IVS and the wording of his amendment gives the impression that IVS is the key factor that has intensified the conflicts between the Mainland and Hong Kong
我認為滋擾問題是在一些地區出現的個別現象，我們不能抹煞自由行對香港整體經濟的貢獻。
In my view the nuisances in question are isolated cases occurring in certain districts . We cannot deny the contribution of IVS to the Hong Kong economy as a whole
所以，我會反對郭議員的修正案。
So I will oppose Dr KWOKs amendment
田北辰議員提出要打造世界級及可持續的旅遊景點，特別是發展賽車產業。
Mr Michael TIEN proposes developing world - class and sustainable tourist attractions and in particular developing the motorsport industry
目前，我們的一些景點確實有老化跡象，應予檢討。
At present some of our tourist attractions are indeed showing signs of ageing and this should be reviewed
如果可打造一個世界級、有吸引力、具地標性的大型景點或大型盛事活動，以作為我們旅遊業的標誌項目，彌補目前吸引力不足的問題，這當然是件好事。
If we can create a world - class attractive landmark―be it a major tourist attraction or a mega event―and use it as an iconic project for our tourism industry to make up for its current lack of attractiveness this is of course a good thing
所以，我會支持田議員的修正案。
So I will support Mr TIENs amendment
周浩鼎議員在修正案中提出設立一項"文化傳承發展基金"。
Mr Holden CHOW in his amendment proposes establishing a cultural transmission and development fund
我同意政府可以為此投入更多資源，並由旅遊業入手推廣、保護和傳承本土文化。
I agree that the Government can allocate more resources to this area and use the tourism industry as the starting point to promote protect and transmit local culture
所以，我會支持周議員的修正案。
So I will support Mr CHOWs amendment
陸頌雄議員的修正案提出明確規定旅行社和導遊及領隊之間的僱傭關係，而相關建議將會在《旅遊業條例草案》中有所體現，亦將能保障旅行社和僱員雙方的利益，這與旅遊業的發展並無矛盾。
Mr LUK Chung - hungs amendment proposes specifying expressly the employment relationship between travel agencies and tour guides as well as tour escorts . This proposal will be embodied in the Travel Industry Bill and will serve to protect the interests of both travel agencies and their employees . This is not in conflict with the development of the tourism industry
主席，各位同事，我感謝35位議員就我的原議案發言。
President and Honourable colleagues I am grateful to the 35 Members who have spoken on my original motion
從大家的發言可見，無論是建制或泛民議員，大家都支持香港發展旅遊業。
From their speeches I can tell that all the Members regardless of whether they are from the pro - establishment or the pan - democratic camp are supportive of developing tourism in Hong Kong
大家在很多問題上都有一定的共識，其中包括：一，旅遊業確實需要改變粗放式的發展，不能"食老本"，我們必須以多元化、深度體驗的策略發展旅遊業；二，發展綠色旅遊和文化旅遊的方向是正確的，政府必須在政策上拆牆鬆綁，指派高層次的政策部門負責統籌，優先建設旅遊相關設施，才能充分發揮本地旅遊資源的優勢；三，除了提升香港本身的軟、硬件外，我們還要秉承好客之道，這是歡迎旅客的前提，不能再讓不禮貌的行為和欺騙旅客的事件發生。
They share certain views on many issues and their common views include first the tourism industry definitely needs to change its mode of extensive development and should not rest on its laurels and we must adopt diversified in - depth exploration strategies to develop the tourism industry; second developing green tourism and cultural tourism is the right direction; the Government must remove barriers and lift restrictions policy - wise designate a high - level policy department to coordinate efforts and accord priority to the construction of tourism - related facilities with a view to giving full play to the edges of local tourism resources; third apart from upgrading Hong Kongs own software and hardware we must also uphold hospitality as the basis of our approach to welcoming visitors and prevent any discourteous behaviour towards visitors or any incidents of deceiving visitors from occurring again
大家提出了很多創新的項目，例如田北辰議員所說的賽車旅遊、陳振英議員提出的美食旅遊、譚文豪議員提及的二戰歷史遺蹟導賞等，這些都是很好的建議。
Members have floated many innovative ideas such as motorsport tourism as discussed by Mr Michael TIEN gourmet tourism as suggested by Mr CHAN Chun - ying and guided tours of World War II historic sites as mentioned by Mr Jeremy TAM . All these are brilliant proposals
我希望政府能夠聽取大家的意見，盡早落實有關建議。
I hope the Government can listen to Members views and implement the proposals as soon as possible
代理主席，全球經濟發展放緩，香港不能獨善其身，旅遊業更是首當其衝。
Deputy President amid the global economic slowdown Hong Kong cannot be spared and the tourism industry is the first to take the brunt
數據顯示，2016年的整體訪港旅客有5,600多萬人次，較2015年下跌4.5%，連續兩年錄得跌幅，而2016年訪港過夜旅客的人均消費是6,600元，亦較2015年下跌8.7%。
According to the statistics there were over 56 million visitor arrivals in the whole year of 2016 a drop of 4.5 % compared to 2015 and it was the second year that a drop was recorded . The spending per capita of overnight visitors in 2016 was 6,600 a drop of 8.7 % compared to 2015
香港旅遊發展局更預計，今年的訪港旅客及人均消費將會進一步下跌。
The Hong Kong Tourism Board also estimates that the number of visitor arrivals and visitors per capita spending will further decline this year
兩年前，市民仍然嚷着旅客過多，如今已是此情不再。
Two years ago people complained about Hong Kong being overcrowded with visitors but the situation is quite different today
地鐵車廂不再擠滿自由行旅客，街上少了人說普通話，遊客區如旺角、銅鑼灣的吉鋪有增無減，相信不少市民都感受得到。
The MTR train compartments are no longer crowded with Individual Visit Scheme IVS visitors and there are fewer Putonghua speakers on the streets . I believe many people can see the increasing number of vacant shops in tourist districts such as Mong Kok and Causeway Bay
旅遊業的高峰期已過，現正進入調整期。
The tourism industry has past its prime and now enters a period of consolidation
如何利用調整期重整旗鼓，吸引更多高質素、高消費的過夜旅客，是未來工作的關鍵。
Our future work will focus on how to rally all the forces to make a comeback during the period of consolidation and attract more high - quality and high - spending overnight visitors to Hong Kong
