民建聯建議政府研究在邊境地區設立購物中心，並大力發展大嶼山，增設更多元化的旅遊基建項目，以提升香港接待內地居民在港觀光和消費的能力，並紓緩旅客過度集中所衍生的負面影響。
DAB advises the Government to study the possibility of setting up shopping centres in the border area proactively develop Lantau Island and roll out more diversified tourism infrastructure projects to enhance the capability of Hong Kong so as to accommodate Mainlanders on visit and consumption in Hong Kong and alleviate the negative impact arising from over - concentration of visitors
同時，亦可為現有及規劃中的新界新市鎮居民提供原區就業的機會，促進地區經濟。
Meanwhile this can provide job opportunities for residents within the existing and planned new towns in the New Territories to promote local community economy
我重申，香港旅遊資源有所缺限，特別是天然景色方面，我們並無浩瀚茫茫的草原或名山大川的奇景，縱然加快增建旅遊配套，但仍覺不足。
I reiterate that the tourism resources in Hong Kong are in shortage especially in terms of natural scenery . We do not have great scenery of vast grasslands or famous mountains and rivers . Resources are not enough even if we manage to expedite the construction of additional tourism facilities
故此，在內部不斷完善旅遊措施及加添新元素之餘，當局亦應該利用與內地密切聯繫的優勢，開拓更多元化的旅遊項目。
Therefore apart from constantly improving tourism measures and adding new elements internally the authorities should take advantage of the close tie with the Mainland to develop more diversified tourism projects
代理主席，事實上，目前東亞的經濟總量已成為全球最大的經濟區域和經濟引擎。
Deputy President East Asia has indeed become the worlds largest economic region and economic engine in terms of aggregate output
因此，世界各地推動旅遊業發展，亦會重點着眼於包括中國在內的亞洲國家和地區。
For this reason places around the world will focus on Asian countries and regions including China in promoting tourism development
隨着香港國際機場第三條跑道工程動工興建，香港未來可藉"一帶一路"的發展機遇，大力促進香港的旅遊業，吸引"一帶一路"沿線國家人士來港進行商務及休閒旅遊活動。
With the commencement of the third runway project at the Hong Kong International Airport Hong Kong can leverage the development opportunities of the Belt and Road Initiative ahead to vigorously promote Hong Kongs tourism industry and attract people from the Belt and Road countries to Hong Kong for business and leisure travel
我們亦應重視如何抓緊粵港澳大灣區的發展新機遇，"九市兩區"各有不同優勢，只要做到優勢互補，定能加快珠三角區域一體化的進程。
We should also attach importance to ways of seizing new development opportunities in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area . With the respective advantages enjoyed by the nine cities and two regions regional integration in the Pearl River Delta can be accelerated as long as complementarity is achieved
就擴大本港旅遊發展方面，香港與廣東地區位置鄰近，建議與廣州、珠海、中山、澳門和肇慶等旅遊城市加強合作，組成聯盟，讓世界各地的旅客可從香港出發，享受一程多站的新穎旅遊體驗方案。
Regarding the expansion of local tourism development Hong Kong and Guangdong are located in close proximity . It is proposed that cooperation with tourist cities such as Guangzhou Zhuhai Zhongshan Macau and Zhaoqing to form an alliance so that visitors from all parts of the world can start their journey from Hong Kong and enjoy new tourist experiences with multi - destination itineraries
我們又建議特區政府向內地爭取進一步放寬現時144小時便利簽證的規定，以吸引更多國際旅客訪港，體驗一程多站的旅程。
We also propose that the SAR Government should strive to further relax the existing 144 - hour Convenient Visa requirement with the Mainland to attract more international visitors to Hong Kong for multi - destination itinerary experiences
主席，根據世界經濟論壇發表的《2017年旅遊業競爭力報告》，香港旅遊業的整體競爭力位列第十一名，在亞洲地區僅次於日本，排行第二，而在旅遊業的優先程度方面，香港在各經濟體中排名第九，在亞洲地區僅次於新加坡，排行第二。
President according to the Travel Tourism Competitiveness Report 2017 released by the World Economic Forum the overall competitiveness of Hong Kongs tourism industry ranked 11 . In the Asian region its ranking was only second to Japan . In terms of prioritization of travel and tourism Hong Kong ranked ninth among all the economies
如果只看整體數據，很容易會以為香港的旅遊業繼續發展蓬勃。
In the Asian region its ranking was only second to Singapore . If we look at the overall figures only we will easily be mistaken that Hong Kongs tourism industry has continued to flourish
然而，旅遊競爭力的高排名背後，其實外強中乾。
However behind the high ranking of its competitiveness the tourism industry is actually outwardly strong but inwardly weak
香港旅遊業多年來仍然無法擺脫過度倚賴內地旅客的局面，欠缺本地特色，整個營運生態極不健康。
Over the years Hong Kongs tourism industry has been unable to shake off the excessive reliance on Mainland visitors lacking in local characteristics . The whole ecology of the operation is extremely unhealthy
香港的排名相當極端，雖然香港在營商環境、安全和衞生等方面排名甚高，但在其他方面卻相對落後。
Hong Kongs rankings were rather extreme . Despite its high rankings in such areas as business environment safety and security and health and hygiene Hong Kong has a lag in other aspects
在東南亞國家中，香港在價格競爭力的得分是第二低，僅高於澳洲；香港在向國際開放程度和文化資源與商務旅遊方面，排名第三低，僅高於中國和蒙古。
Among the East Asian countries and regions Hong Kong received the second lowest score in terms of price competitiveness only higher than that of Australia . In terms of international openness and cultural resources and business travel Hong Kong ranked the third lowest being only higher than China and Mongolia
從上述情況可以得出以下結論：香港旅遊業有三大問題，就是物價昂貴、欠缺國際視野，以及欠缺本地文化特色。
From these situations we can draw the following conclusion Hong Kongs tourism industry has three main problems namely high prices a lack of international perspective and an absence of local cultural characteristics
香港物價昂貴是人所共知的，並非一朝一夕便可以解決，所以我不在此多談，今天我想集中討論後兩者。
The problem of high prices in Hong Kong is well known to all and it cannot be resolved overnight . So I am not going to dwell on it here . Today I wish to focus the discussion on the latter two
與其他東南亞國家相比，為何香港的國際開放程度較低呢？
Compared with the other East Asian countries why is Hong Kongs international openness lower?
這與本港的旅遊政策密切相關。
This is closely related to Hong Kongs tourism policy
香港旅遊業多年來過度倚賴內地旅客，以 2017年為例，在5,847萬名訪港旅客中，便有4,445萬人來自中國內地，佔總數接近八成。
Over the years Hong Kongs tourism industry has excessively relied on Mainland visitors . For example in 2017 among the 58.47 million visitors to Hong Kong 44.45 million came from Mainland China accounting for nearly 80 % of the total number
內地旅客固然可以為香港帶來一定的經濟效益，但客源過於依賴單一市場，令旅遊業的整體發展形成單一趨勢，滿街都是為滿足內地旅客而開設的金鋪和藥房，使香港對其他地區的旅客的吸引力大降。
No doubt Mainland visitors can bring considerable economic benefits to Hong Kong but an over reliance on a single market as the source of visitors has rendered the overall development of the tourism industry homogeneous . Jewellery shops and drug stores opened to satisfy Mainland visitors abound in the street thus greatly reducing Hong Kongs attractiveness to visitors from other places
更重要的是，我們把所有雞蛋都放進同一個籃子，如果內地經濟出現任何波動，又或內地旅客的消費模式改變，便會不利香港旅遊業和相關產業的健康發展。
More importantly we have put all the eggs in one basket . Should there be any fluctuation in the Mainland economy or change in the spending pattern of Mainland visitors it will be detrimental to the healthy development of Hong Kongs tourism industry and associated industries
我認為，本港旅遊業的發展方向，無可避免需要更多元化，以加強吸引來自世界各地的不同客源。
In my view it is inevitable that greater diversification is the direction of development of Hong Kongs tourism industry in order to enhance its appeal to different sources of visitors around the world
根據國際經驗，當一個新興經濟體的人均GDP達3,000美元的水平時，民眾生活趨向小康，中產階層興起，對外遊的需求便會出現爆發式的增長。
According to international experience when the per capita GDP of an emerging economy reaches US3,000 its people will become better off in living and the middle class will emerge giving rise to an explosive growth in the demand for outbound travel . In the Asian region a number of emerging economies have actually appeared
亞洲區內正正出現了多個新興經濟體，在2017年，印尼的人均本地生產總值為3,858美元；菲律賓則為3,022美元；印度由於人口眾多，人均本地生產總值雖然較低，只有1,852美元，但由於其經濟高速增長，潛在的外遊需求亦相當龐大。
In 2017 the per capita GDP of Indonesia was US3,858 whereas that of the Philippines was US3,022 . Owing to the large population of India its per capita GDP was lower being only US1,852 but given its rapid economic development the potential demand for outbound travel is huge
根據萬事達卡公布的"2017年全球穆斯林旅行指數"，若不計算伊斯蘭合作組織的成員國，香港是亞洲區內最受穆斯林旅客歡迎的第三大地區，可見香港是他們的熱門旅遊地點。
According to the Global Muslim Travel Index 2017 released by Mastercard excluding the member states of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation Hong Kong was the third most popular place for Muslim visitors in Asia . It is thus evident that Hong Kong is their favourite destination for travel
在中國以外，我們仍然商機處處。
There are still plenty of business opportunities available for us outside China
政府應以長遠目光作出考量，吸引國際客源作政策支援。
The Government should make consideration in a far - sighted manner and make attraction of visitors from international sources its policy backup . Take India as an example
以印度為例，香港政府早前為防止濫用免遣返聲請，要求印度護照持有人必須在網上預辦登記系統提交很多額外資料才可來港，這類政策使程序變得複雜，亦有機會令旅遊人士卻步。
Earlier on to prevent abuse of non - refoulement claims the Hong Kong Government has required holders of Indian passports to submit a lot of additional information online in the pre - arrival registration system before travelling to Hong Kong . Such a policy has made the procedures more complicated . It may also discourage tourists from coming to Hong Kong
有一個很實在的數字，就是在措施推出後，2017年首7個月的印度訪港旅客較2016年的同期下跌了20.4%，政府應該適時作出檢討或考慮其他方法。
The following figure is a practical pointer . After the implementation of this measure the number of Indian visitors to Hong Kong in the first seven months of 2017 has dropped by 20.4 % over the same period in 2016 . The Government should conduct a review or consider other approaches in a timely manner
有孟加拉、尼泊爾、巴基斯坦，以及非洲的肯亞和埃塞俄比亞。
There are Bangladesh Nepal Pakistan as well as Kenya and Ethiopia in Africa
此外，更重要的問題是本港旅遊業的定位。
Besides a more important issue is the positioning of Hong Kongs tourism industry
我剛才提到，為了滿足內地旅客，現時滿街也是金鋪、藥房和名牌店鋪，但本地文化又何去何從呢？
As I mentioned just now to satisfy Mainland visitors now jewellery shops drug stores and shops of famous brands abound in the territory . But where is the local culture?
其實，外地旅客很喜歡深度遊，有特色的生活風貌可以吸引他們；反之，強行堆砌的虛偽，更容易惹他們反感。
In fact foreign tourists like in - depth travel . Special lifestyle and features are appealing to them . On the contrary hypocritical shows put up deliberately will easily arouse their aversion
其實，區內有不少競爭，例如日本、韓國和台灣也推出了很多具特色的本地影視作品。
As a matter of fact there is keen competition in the region . For example Japan Korea and Taiwan have published many movie and television works with local characteristics
我希望大家不要盲目沉溺在所謂"一帶一路"和大灣區等口號，我在此呼籲，政府應該居安思危，未雨綢繆，加強吸引來自其他地區的客源，以改善本港旅遊業過於單一的問題。
I hope we will not blindly indulge in such slogans as the Belt and Road and Bay Area . Here I call on the Government to remain vigilant in times of peace and take precautions for rainy days . It should step up its efforts to attract visitors from other regions to improve the excessive homogeneity of Hong Kongs tourism industry
政府亦應該以積極、開放的態度，接納和推動本地文化特色。
The Government should also accept and promote local cultural features with a proactive and open attitude
主席，我認同邵家輝議員的議案，擴大香港的內需，增加客源。
President I agree with Mr SHIU Ka - fais motion that we should stimulate internal demand and open up new visitor sources
我亦認同邵議員所說，政府有必要加快增設旅遊設施的配套，以提高香港接待旅客的能力。
And I also subscribe to his view that it is imperative for the Government to expedite the provision of additional tourism supporting facilities with a view to upgrading Hong Kongs visitor receiving capability and capacity
相信不少市民也會認同，香港現時的基建配套設施極度不足。
I believe many members of the public will agree that the infrastructural facilities of Hong Kong are grossly inadequate
大家乘坐港鐵，或到旺角和銅鑼灣等旅客 必到的地區，也會覺得非常擠迫。在繁忙時段乘坐港鐵，可能要等候數班列車才能迫上車；在行人路上，很多時候行人也被迫出馬路，構成危險。
One can hardly fail to experience the extreme overcrowdedness when taking a ride on MTR trains or setting foot in such places as Mong Kok or Causeway Bay frequented by tourists taking the MTR during rush hours probably obliges a wait for several trains before you can squeeze yourself on board while going down a sidewalk often poses the danger of being crowded out to the driveways
政府在規劃基建時，實在有必要投放更多資源，考量旅遊配套，例如有否足夠的泊車位予大型旅遊車停泊。
During infrastructural planning it is necessary for the Government to allocate more resources and take tourism supporting facilities into the consideration such as whether sufficient parking spaces are available for large tourist coaches
正如局長所說，它們不是不想守秩序，而是根本沒有地方可停泊。
As the Secretary has pointed out the problem lies not in a lack of willingness to observe the rule but a lack of parking spaces whatsoever
現時的路面設計和面積是否足以應付現時或新增的人流和車流呢？
Are the current design and size of roads adequate to cope with the people and vehicular flows at the present or increased level?
其實在考慮增加旅遊景點時，所有配套也應該在前期的規劃中一併考慮。
As a matter of fact in pondering the development of new tourist attractions all supporting facilities must be taken into consideration in the preliminary planning as well
主席，記得在上屆立法會，我提到港鐵有必要降低車廂站立的設計密度。
President you may recall that in the last term of the Legislative Council I raised the issue of lowering the design density of standing room in train compartments
雖然我成功促使港鐵把密度由1平方米站立6人減至站立4人，提高市民和旅客乘搭時的舒適度，但是，考慮到現時港鐵的盈利，以及經常以改善服務為本的口號，加上現時不少乘客或旅客也攜帶背包或手提行李，港鐵是否應該再研究降低車廂每平方米站立人數的標準呢？
My effort has successfully led to the lowering of density from six to four standing passengers per square metre by the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL to enhance comfort for members of the community and travellers on trains . That said considering the profit level of MTRCL at the moment the slogan of improving quality of service that it often boasts and the fact that many passengers or travellers carry backpacks or carry on luggage on board these days should MTRCL not study again the possibility of further lowering the standard for the density of standing passengers per square metre in train compartments?
除了基建配套外，聯合國世界旅遊組織指出，"可持續旅遊發展不僅能滿足當前遊客和東道地區的需要，同時還能保護並提升未來的發展機遇。
Infrastructural facilities aside sustainable tourism fulfils the needs of the tourists and that of their host countries it protects and enhances future opportunities for development as the World Tourism Organization of the United Nation stated
香港地方細小，如果可以發展成為理想的步行都市，不但有利香港居民，也可以吸引更多旅客。
If Hong Kong a small place as it is can develop into a metropolis ideal for walkers not only will the locals be benefited it will also be an appeal to more tourists
我的界別有不少這方面的專家可以發揮所長，發展香港的橫街窄巷，把它們變成有特色的景點，吸引旅客。
There are in my sector many experts in this area who can bring their skills into full play developing those narrow lanes and alleys in Hong Kong and converting them into distinctive scenic spots that draw tourists
主席，要增加內需，便要保持香港經濟繁榮，令市民能夠安居樂業；要擴大客源，便要有有特色的景點，合適的配套，令市民和旅客也可以樂在其中。
President the stimulation of internal demand hinges on the continuous prosperity of the Hong Kong economy and contentment of its people in work and living environment while the opening up of new visitor sources depends on the existence of distinctive tourist attractions with proper supporting facilities in which both locals and tourist can take pleasure
我在這裏促請區議會加強管理地區的清潔及衞生，善用專業人士，培育更多青年才俊，建設更有特色的香港。
I wish to call on all District Councils to step up control on the hygiene and cleanliness of their respective districts make full use of professionals nurturing more young talent and build a more distinctive Hong Kong
主席，我謹此陳辭。
I so submit President
我理解為何"拉動內需"的議題可能涉及關於自由行的討論，但我想再強調和不厭其煩地重申，過去無論是在香港社會或地區的市民，為何會自發地支持2015年的光復行動，又或是反水貨客等行動？
I understand why the issue of IVS was covered in their discussion on stimulating internal demand but I would like to reiterate and take the trouble to reiterate the reason why both society as a whole as well as the residents of individual districts supported the liberation protests in 2015 and the anti - parallel traders campaigns on their own initiative
理由十分簡單，就是因為自由行和"一簽多行"帶來的破壞，已經影響到當區居民的日常生活。
It was due to the simple reason that the damages caused by IVS and the multiple - entry endorsements had disrupted the daily lives of local residents
當然，政府後來推出"一周一行"的改善政策，但在北區居住的市民或居民每天受到的困擾，我相信大家應該有切身感受。
Even though the authorities subsequently introduced the improvement measure of one trip per week Individual Visit Endorsements the residents of the North District are still suffering every day . I think we should step into their shoes
我想在此補充一點：有議員提及當時可能出現一些直接的肢體衝突或所謂比較激烈的行動，我相信道理十分簡單。
I wish to add one point here . Some Members mentioned that there were some physical conflicts or so - called radical actions during the protests . I think the reasons behind are also very simple
如果當區居民能夠透過簡單的遊行示威或請願來改變問題，說道理的香港人自然會使用這些方法。
The people of Hong Kong are mostly rational and they would have resorted to simple demonstrations or petitions to work things out if they could
當天出現那些行動，說到底，是因為他們在試過很多所謂和平、理性、非 暴力的方法，但結果也沒有用的情況下，才會採取這樣的策略，最後也因此而變成"一周一行"。
The ultimate reason leading to those radical actions was that the residents had tried many other ways in a peaceful rational and non - violent manner but in vain and so they were left with no alternative but to resort to other means which eventually resulted in the implementation of one trip per week
所以，關於自由行"一簽多行"的討論，我認為過去我們已經討論過很多次，至於支持與否，可能涉及是否存在既得利益的問題，又或是關乎固有的立場。
Indeed a significant amount of discussion was devoted to the issue of multiple - entry endorsements previously . Ones position on this issue may have been influenced by certain vested interests or some fundamental stance
所以，我認為無須在此爭論。
Therefore I think it is meaningless to argue about it further here
不過，邵家輝議員提出這項議案，我認為在座各位也應該擴闊一下自己的眼界，不要狹隘地思考，認為拉動內需只是關乎自由行的討論。
However when we deliberate on the motion moved by Mr SHIU Ka - fai I believe all of us here should take a broader perspective instead of adopting the rather narrow view that the discussion on stimulating internal demand covers the issue of IVS only . Let me cite a few examples to explain my point
甚至有些團體提出，有錢的便可以看，但一個地方的旅遊吸引力，說的甚至是文化，是否應該只有有錢人才可享有觀看黃子華的專利呢？
Members of certain organization went so far as to say that the shows were for those who could afford a ticket . However if our city is to be attractive to tourists and become a cultural attraction is it reasonable that only the wealthy are entitled to enjoying Dayo WONGs shows?
黃子華本人也不同意。
Even Dayo WONG himself does not agree with it
到了今天，很多樂迷排隊購買五月天演唱會的門票，但現在擔心的原來不是一票難求，而是電腦系統故障，即使輪候一整個早上也害怕買不到票。
Today many MayDays fans have queued up to buy tickets for the bands upcoming concerts . However a system malfunction occurred thus adding to their worries over the availability of tickets . They might not be able to buy any ticket after having queued up for the whole morning
代理主席，我們生活上有很多林林總總的基本制度已經無法應付我們的生活所需，說到娛樂、休閒、文化等，本來是旅遊或一個地方、我們城市的吸引力所在，但今天輪候一整個早上，也購買不到一張五月天的演唱會門票。
Deputy President the various basic infrastructure facilities can no longer cope with the needs of our daily lives including the needs of entertainment recreation culture etc . These should have been the elements that make a place our city more appealing . But the fans of MayDay were unable to buy a ticket after having queued up for the whole morning today
所謂"炒黃牛"，說的可能只是一些不法商人，或比較有空的人來炒賣，但說到底，現在不僅是炒賣的問題，而是我們的電子系統根本無法應付本地人只是休閒娛樂的生活所需，那麼，我們又如何談論接待旅客的能力和容量呢？
The so - called ticket touting involves those unscrupulous merchants or people who have the time for touting activities only but after all what we are facing today is not only the issue of ticket touting but that our electronic systems are simply unable to cope with the recreational needs of local people . Then how would it be possible for us to go on to discuss our visitor receiving capability and capacity?
就是在這個星期，有主流媒體拍攝到有的士在蘭桂坊濫收車資、即時提高收費，為何現時旅遊業受到這麼多批評呢？
It is during this week that reporters of a mainstream media took footage of some taxi drivers in Lan Kwai Fong showing how those drivers overcharged or raised taxi fare at will etc . How come our tourism industry has received so many criticisms?
現時台灣評價香港為其中一個最不喜歡前往旅遊的城市，說的不是我們如何依賴單一客源等問題，而是根本在文化上，香港給人的感覺是已經不再具吸引力了。
Recently Hong Kong has been rated as one of the most unpopular tourist destinations by the people of Taiwan . So the issue is not about reliance on one single visitor source but that Hong Kong is no longer appealing culture - wise
代理主席，我最後想再引用一個例子作結。
Deputy President I would like to cite another example to conclude my speech
不好意思，是日本藝術新星、神隱少女真人版的小松美羽，她剛剛在香港舉行香港首次藝術展，本來這是香港一個吸引之處，便是吸引世界各地的人匯聚香港和多元化，但偏偏我們的討論只是集中於購物，但關於購物，邵家輝議員，我最後想提出一點，現在香港出現的問題是，我們的旅遊業原來並不惠及本地的旅遊業，而是一些中國大陸的商家在香港假冒一些日本牌子，售賣好像是日本製造的產品，然後在同一時間假裝是在香港旅遊。
Talking about shopping Mr SHIU Ka - fai I would like to make one final point . The problem of Hong Kong is that the tourism industry does not benefit local tourism . The fact is that some Mainland merchants in Hong Kong are selling counterfeit Japanese products that appear to be made in Japan and disguise themselves as a part of the local tourism industry
但大家明白我的意思。
I do not wish to name any companies but I believe all of you understand what I mean
代理主席，我感謝邵家輝議員提出"拉動內需擴大客源"的議案。
Deputy President I thank Mr SHIU Ka - fai for moving this motion on Stimulating internal demand and opening up new visitor sources
關於如何擴大客源，推動香港的旅遊業，民主建港協進聯盟於2017年10月發表了《香港旅遊業持續發展建議書》，當中羅列了很多見解，容許我藉此機會向政府當局反映一些意見。
In relation to opening up new visitor sources and promoting the tourism industry of Hong Kong the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong DAB issued the Proposal on the Sustainable Development of Tourism in Hong Kong which listed a number of opinions in October 2017 . Please allow me to reflect some opinions to the Administration here
我對這些說話感到很失望，議員同事不認同對方的政治觀點或某項措施，可以客觀地提出意見和批評，但用上這類說話只會令我覺得他們是否想藉議會"做個人show"，譁眾取寵，因為我並不覺得說這些話可以為一個人加分，只會令我覺得這個人應檢視個人道德水平是否有問題。
Colleagues who do not agree with others political views or a particular measure may express their views and criticisms in an objective manner . Such remarks however will only make me feel that they wish to perform a personal show in this Council to curry popular favour . For I do not think that such words can win credits for a person
我個人認為，反對派同事用上這類說話來作出指控和批評，他應檢視自己的道德水平是否有問題。
In my opinion the opposition colleagues who make such accusations and criticisms with those remarks should consider checking their own moral standard
主席，首先，多謝邵家輝議員提出這項"拉動內需 擴大客源"議案辯論。
President first of all I thank Mr SHIU Ka - fai for proposing this motion on Stimulating internal demand and opening up new visitor sources for debate
原議案的其中一個重點是通過增加旅遊設施，擴大客源，令香港整體經濟得益。
A key point of the original motion is to provide additional tourism facilities so as to open up new visitor sources for the benefit of the overall economy of Hong Kong
眾所周知，香港以服務業為主，2014年佔香港的GDP高達93%，遠高於亞洲其他發達經濟體系。
As we all know Hong Kong is principally a service - based economy . In 2014 the service sector accounted for as much as 93 % of the Gross Domestic Product GDP of Hong Kong which was far higher than other developed economies in Asia
雖然香港需要向多元經濟轉型，但我相信在相當一段時間內，香港服務業仍然會佔相當大的比重，主導香港經濟走向。
Despite the need for Hong Kong to be restructured into a diversified economy I believe the service sector in Hong Kong will for a certain period of time continue to take up a significant percentage share and steer the direction of economic development in Hong Kong
在服務業中，旅遊業是支柱產業，雖然直接的GDP貢獻只有5%，佔就業人口7%，但漣漪效應相當大。
Tourism is the pillar of the service sector . Although the tourism industry makes a direct contribution of only 5 % to GDP and employs 7 % of the working population the ripple effect is considerable
舉例說，原議案提到的零售、飲食和運輸等行業也會受旅遊業影響。
For example such industries as retail catering and transport mentioned in the original motion can be affected by the tourism industry
根據世界旅遊業理事會推算，旅遊業對香港的GDP的間接貢獻比例高達16.8%，就業人數達56萬人，佔總勞體人口14.7%。
According to the World Travel and Tourism Council tourism indirectly contributes as much as 16.8 % to GDP in Hong Kong and employs a workforce of 560 000 accounting for 14.7 % of the total working population
隨着近年全球經濟穩定、交通便利、旅遊設施完善，外遊已經成為一般民眾的習慣。
In recent years given the global economic stability transport convenience and comprehensive tourism facilities outbound travel has become a habit of the general public
近年內地經濟增長快速，更增加國民出外旅遊意欲，旅遊業可說是朝陽產業。
The rapid economic growth in the Mainland in recent years has increased the desire of the nationals to travel abroad and tourism can be regarded as a sunrise industry
所以，我認同原議案提出要以發展旅遊業作為拉動內需的重點。
Therefore I agree to the view of the original motion that the development of tourism should be made the key for stimulating internal demand
2017年全年訪港旅客有5,850萬人次，同比上升3.2%，當中過夜旅客增長更超過5%。
In 2017 Hong Kong recorded a total of 58.5 million visitor arrivals an increase of 3.2 % over the previous year and the number of overnight visitors was even up by more than 5 %
