在推廣會展旅遊方面，我們會繼續透過向旅發局撥款，吸引更多具規模的國際會展活動及中小型會展及獎勵活動在港舉行，吸引更多高消費的會展旅客來港。
On the promotion of meeting incentive travels conventions and exhibitions MICE we will continue to earmark funding to HKTB to attract more large - scale international convention and exhibition activities and small and medium MICE activities with a view to attracting more high - spending convention and exhibition visitors to Hong Kong
我們亦會致力吸引不同種類和嶄新的盛事和活動在本港舉行。
We will also strive to attract different kinds of new and mega events to Hong Kong
剛才有議員建議政府應研究發展地下空間、文化創意園區和多用途道路 活動場地等，這都與我們爭取更多場地舉辦盛事的目標一致。
Just now a Member proposed that the Government should explore the development of underground space cultural and creative parks and multi - purpose venues for holding road events and so on . All these are consistent with our goal of striving for more venues to host mega events
如有合適建議，我們會加以考慮。
Granting suitable proposals we will give them consideration
郵輪旅客亦是我們積極爭取的目標客群，我們會鼓勵郵輪公司調配更多郵輪到港，推動郵輪客源市場多元化，並聚焦透過飛航郵輪計劃及提升在華南地區市場的滲透率以加強香港的競爭力。
Cruise tourists are also among our actively pursued prime targets . We will incentivize cruise lines to deploy more cruise ships to berth at Hong Kong supporting diversification of cruise passenger source markets and enhancing Hong Kongs competitiveness through focusing on the fly - cruise programme and enhancement to market penetration in Southern China
至於旅遊硬件方面，政府一直努力不懈發展和改善香港旅遊設施，並從多方面着手提升競爭力。
Regarding tourism hardware the Government has spared no effort in developing and enhancing Hong Kongs tourism facilities as well as upgrading its competitiveness by various means
我們會支持海洋公園發展教育旅遊項目，推出具本地特色的全新立體投射水上光影表演。
We will support the development of educational tourism projects at the Ocean Park by launching a brand new 3D projection - cum - water light show with local characteristics
至於全天候水上樂園和兩間新酒店，預計會在2018年至2021年陸續落成。
An all - weather water park and two new hotels are scheduled for completion one after another between 2018 and 2021
香港迪士尼樂園度假區亦正積極推行擴建及發展計劃，多項新設施將在今年至2023年期間陸續啟用，當中"魔海奇緣凱旋慶典"舞台表演將率先於今年5月在探險世界的全新戶外表演場地推出。
The Hong Kong Disneyland Resort is also actively carrying out an expansion and development plan and a number of new facilities will be commissioned progressively from this year to 2023 . The Moana A Homecoming Celebration stage show will be the first to be launched at the entirely new outdoor venue at Adventureland in May 2018
我們會探討並協助有興趣的國際品牌把不同類型的旅遊設施引入香港，以豐富旅客體驗。
We will continue to explore with and provide assistance to interested international brands in introducing different types of tourist facilities into Hong Kong for enriching visitors experience
第三個發展策略是智慧旅遊。
The third development strategy is smart tourism
我們將設立一個新的智慧旅遊着陸網頁，為抵達香港國際機場、高鐵西九龍總站及港珠澳大橋香港口岸的旅客，提供旅遊及交通資訊，以提升旅客的旅遊體驗和便利他們到不同景點遊覽。
A new smart tourism landing web page will be set up to provide tourism and transport information for arrivals at the Hong Kong International Airport the West Kowloon Station of XRL and the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities of HZMB with a view to enriching the tourism experience for our visitors and facilitating their access to various tourist attractions
當旅客使用上述場地提供的Wi-Fi服務時，可連接網頁獲得資訊，包括旅客身處場地的設施、往來旅遊熱點的交通資訊、酒店及零售設施的資料等，以協助旅客規劃行程及在港活動。
Visitors using the Wi - Fi services at the aforementioned venues will be connected to the web page for information on the facilities of the premises where they are visiting transport information on commuting between tourism hot spots hotels and retail facilities with a view to assisting visitors in planning their itinerary and activities in Hong Kong
此外，利用資訊科技提升營運效率及競爭力是大勢所趨。
Furthermore making use of information technology to enhance operational efficiency and competitive edge is a general trend
我們早於2016-2017財政年度已撥款1,000萬元，透過旅議會設立"旅行社資訊科技發展配對基金先導計劃"。
As early as the 2016 - 2017 fiscal year 10 million was earmarked to establish the Pilot Information Technology Development Matching Fund Scheme for Travel Agents the Scheme through TIC
自計劃推出以來，旅議會已批出合共約宗申請，業界反應熱烈。
Since the introduction of the Scheme TIC has approved 110 applications in total and the response from the industry has been enthusiastic
有見及此，我們在2018-2019年度向旅議會額外撥款3,000萬元，以繼續推行並優化計劃，鼓勵更多中小型旅行社利用資訊科技裝備自己，包括提高服務質素、加強資訊系統保安，以及改善入境旅行團人流管理等。
In view of this we will earmark an additional 30 million in the 2018 - 2019 fiscal year to further take forward and enhance the Scheme to incentivize more small and medium travel agents to make use of information technology to equip themselves including enhancing the quality of services beefing up information system security improving visitor flow control for inbound tour groups and so on
最後一個重要的發展策略是提升旅遊業服務質素。
The last key development strategy is to upgrade the quality of tourism services
我們正全力推動成立旅遊業監管局的立法工作，爭取立法會加快審議並盡快通過《旅遊業條例草案》。
We are taking forward at full steam the legislative work on setting up a Travel Industry Authority TIA and will seek the Legislative Councils expeditious scrutiny and early approval of the Travel Industry Bill the Bill
旅監局早日成立，將可全面規管旅行社、導遊及領隊，有助加強打擊議員剛才表示關注的業界不良行為，為旅客提供更佳保障。
The early establishment of TIA will lead to full regulation of travel agents tourist guides and tour escorts which will help clamp down on the unscrupulous conduct of the industry as mentioned by Members earlier so that better protection can be provided for visitors
《條例草案》已在相關法案 委員會審議近1年，我們希望法案委員會能盡快完成審議，以便早日通過《條例草案》，從而有效處理零負團費引起的問題。
The Bill has been under scrutiny by the relevant Bills Committee for nearly one year . We hope the scrutiny can be completed expeditiously for the early passage of the Bill so that problems caused by zero - negative - fare tours can be addressed effectively
為了加強旅客對香港旅遊業界的信心，我們會繼續透過旅發局加強在內地宣傳優質誠信旅遊和"優質旅遊服務"計劃。
We will continue to support HKTB in stepping up the publicity of quality and honest tourism and the Quality Tourism Services Scheme in the Mainland to bolster visitors confidence in Hong Kongs tourism trade
業界的參與同樣重要，我們會繼續支持旅議會加強旅遊業人員的培訓，提高行業服務質素。
Since the participation of the trade is equally important we will continue to support TIC in enhancing training for tourism practitioners in order to boost the quality of trade services
我注意到有議員提及檢討自由行和"一周一行"政策，以及向入境人士徵收陸路入境稅。
I also noted the proposal put forward by a Member of reviewing the Individual Visit Scheme and the one trip per week policy as well as levying a land arrival tax on arrivals
相關建議影響深遠，我們認為應審慎考慮。
Given its far - reaching impacts the relevant proposal warrants prudent consideration
我們一直採取實事求是的務實態度處理旅遊業相關問題，致力平衡行業對香港經濟及民生的影響。
We have all along adopted a pragmatic attitude in dealing with issues related to the tourism industry and striven to strike a balance between the impacts of the industry on Hong Kong economy and the livelihood of Hong Kong people
事實上，"一周一行"措施實施後，有效降低以往1周甚至1天來港多次人士的訪港次數，並針對性打擊個別持內地旅遊證件來港的職業水貨客。
In fact the implementation of the one trip per week initiative has effectively reduced the number of trips made to Hong Kong by people who used to come to Hong Kong multiple times within one week or even one day and at the same time specifically clamped down on professional parallel traders using travel documents issued by the Mainland to come to Hong Kong
日後，我們會繼續觀察情況，並就整體內地居民來港旅遊的安排與中央政府保持緊密聯繫。
In future we will continue to keep the conditions in view and maintain close contact with the Central Government on the overall arrangements for Mainland residents to visit Hong Kong
至於興建邊境購物城、公共交通行李限制和嬰幼兒配方奶粉出口限制，即所謂"限奶令"檢討等的建議，不少與水貨問題有關。
As regards the proposals of constructing boundary shopping malls imposing luggage restrictions on public transport and reviewing the restrictions on the export of infant and follow - up formulae quite many of them are related to problems caused by parallel trading
針對水貨活動，不同執法部門一直採取多項應對措施，包括向在公眾地方擺放貨物而造成阻街的水貨客發出告票；在水貨活動黑點加強街道清潔服務，並向違反《定額罰款條例》的人士發出定額罰款通知書；拘捕涉嫌從事水貨活動而違反逗留條件的內地訪客等。
Targeting parallel trade activities various law enforcement departments have adopted a number of countermeasures and they include issuing summonses for obstruction caused by parallel traders placing goods in public places enhancing the street cleansing services in parallel trading hotspots issuing Fixed Penalty Notices to people contravening the Fixed Penalty Ordinance arresting Mainland visitors suspected of contravening conditions of stay for engaging in parallel trading activities and so on
至於入境旅行團為地區帶來不便的問題，政府連同旅議會不時與業界代表會面，促請他們接待入境旅行團時注意秩序，並呼籲他們善用資訊科技加強人流和車流管理。
As regards the inconvenience caused by inbound tour groups to certain districts the Government and TIC will meet with representatives from the trade from time to time to urge them to maintain order when receiving inbound tour groups and encourage them to use information technology to strengthen visitor and vehicular flow control
政府亦正就旅遊巴士違例情況加強執法，並研究及推出不同措施，以鼓勵更多旅遊巴士正規泊位，包括在合適地點增設路旁上落客點和停泊位供旅遊巴士使用、透過批出短期租約停車場供旅遊巴士停泊、在一個短期租約停車場試行提供旅遊巴士半小時泊位優惠等。
The Government is also stepping up enforcement actions against illegal coach parking as well as exploring and introducing different measures which include promoting the use of legal parking spaces by more coaches through the provision of additional roadside pick - updrop - off bays and parking spaces for coaches at appropriate locations letting car parks for coach parking on the basis of short - term tenancy STT piloting the provision of a half - hourly concessionary parking rate in an STT car park and so on
就未來發展方向而言，我們在避免對本港居民生活構成不便的前提下，會繼續研究不同方案以吸引高增值訪客來港，並適當增設旅遊配套設施，提高香港接待旅客的能力。
Insofar as the future development direction is concerned we will continue to explore various proposals for attracting high value - added visitors to Hong Kong and suitably providing additional supporting tourism facilities and upgrading Hong Kongs visitor receiving capability on the premise of not causing inconvenience to the daily life of local residents
最後，我感謝議員在辯論中提出很多寶貴有用的意見。
Lastly I thank Honourable Members for expressing many valuable and constructive views during the debate
我們會繼續適度有為，調配資源，做好各項改善民生的工作。
We will continue to be appropriately proactive in deploying resources and properly undertake various tasks to improve peoples livelihood
我們亦會與旅遊 業界攜手，鞏固香港作為旅遊勝地的地位，並且致力推動創科發展及支援新經濟項目，以促進香港整體經濟的長遠健康發展。
We will also join hands with the tourism trades to consolidate Hong Kongs position as a prime tourist destination and strive to take forward the development of innovation and technology and support new economic projects to promote the long - term development of Hong Kongs overall economy in a healthy manner
其實"拉動內需 擴大客源"，說到底就是"大小通吃"。
Actually [s]timulating internal demand and opening up new visitor sources boils down to take - all
事實上，在拉動內需方面，大家也希望能增加本地消費，而擴大客源則是吸引更多遊客來港消費。
As regards stimulating internal demand we also wish to boost local consumption . Opening up new visitor sources means attracting more tourists to Hong Kong and spend their money
然而，在拉動內需方面，其實我們可以看看我們的國家，國家在數年前也曾大力提倡擴大內需。
However regarding stimulating internal demand we can take a look at our country . Several years ago the State also strongly advocated expanding internal demand
其實提升和拉動內需的重要性何在呢？
Why was it important to increase and stimulate internal demand?
第一個原因是當年國家人民的總存款達20萬億元，而另一個原因是為了穩定整個經濟結構，因為內需相對較為穩定。
The first reason was that then the total deposits of the people of our country had reached RMB20,000 billion . Another reason was to stabilize the overall economic structure as domestic demand was relatively stable
如果過分依賴外界的經濟需求，當其他國家經濟衰退時，我們便會直接受到影響。
If our country relied too heavily on foreign economic demand we would be affected immediately when other countries ran into an economic downturn . These two were the main reasons
這兩項是主要原因，而當然還有另一種說法，就是我們國家擁有13億人的市場，所以內需代表的是13億人的市場。
Of course there was yet another consideration . Our country had a market of 1.3 billion people . Our domestic demand represented a market of 1.3 billion people
我記得第一次聽到這種說法時，很簡單，我想到的是每人每天會擠兩次牙膏，早晚各一次，一天便等於13億次乘2，即大家會擠26億次的牙膏。
I remember that when I heard of this for the first time I thought of the scenario of everybody squeezing his tube of toothpaste twice a day . If everyone squeezes his tube of toothpaste once in the morning and once at night it will be 1.3 billion times multiplied by 2 . The tubes of toothpaste will be squeezed 2.6 billion times every day
換言之，其實需要大量生產商才能滿足這種需求，整個市場也會很蓬勃，大中小企均能立足。
In other words a huge amount of toothpaste will have to be produced to satisfy this level of demand . The whole market will be livened up and big medium - sized and small businesses will all prosper
但無論如何，拉動內需永遠也不會錯，尤其是當大家看看香港近年的經濟，其實情況不壞，數字持續上升，長期保持低失業率。
In particular let us take a look at the Hong Kong economy in recent years . The situation is not bad indeed . Indicator figures have been rising continuously and the unemployment rate has remained at a low level for a long time
根據最新數字，我們的財政盈餘達1,400億元，而財政儲備亦有過萬億元。
According to the latest figures our fiscal surplus is as much as 140 billion and our fiscal reserve is more than 1,000 billion
大家也會問，究竟我們有甚麼方法可以刺激內需？
We ask What can we do to stimulate internal demand?
當然，除了今次財政預算案公布的退稅、退差餉及"雙糧"外，其實還有剛公布派發4,000元的補漏措施，相信也能發揮一定提振作用。
Of course besides measures like tax refund rates waiver and double payments in fact a gap - filling measure of handing out 4,000 has just been announced too . I believe this measure will also be able to produce some stimulus effect
然而，我們必須要問，今時今日，我們是否缺錢？
However we must ask Are we short of money these days?
香港並非缺錢，但仍遇到很多問題。
Hong Kong is not short of money but we are nevertheless plagued by many problems
事實上，香港的工時實在太長，冠絕全球。
As a matter of fact working hours in Hong Kong being the longest in the world are indeed too long
"打工仔"上班然後下班，早出晚歸，回家後只是吃飯、洗澡、睡覺，又怎會有時間消費？
The wage earners go to work early and come home late . When they are home they can only eat wash and sleep . How can they have any time to spend money?
此外，大家由年頭 到年尾苦苦等待，才有數天假期，但由於香港的壓力和生活指數太高，大家均以"走難"方式去旅行。
And we wait patiently from the beginning to the end of the year for several days of leave but as the pressure of life and the cost of living are too high in Hong Kong we all join tours and flee Hong Kong
以"走難"方式去旅行並非指大家要攜帶大包小包，而是大家的心態是要避難，避開香港的高生活指數及壓力源頭。
Joining tours to flee Hong Kong does not mean that we are refugees fleeing with all our belongings only that we have a fleeing mentality trying to run away from the high cost of living and the source of high pressure
因此，人人也選擇去旅行，擔心留在香港就會如我昨天所言般收到老闆的電話、短訊，令假期有等於無。
Therefore we all choose to join tours . We are afraid that as I said yesterday staying in Hong Kong will mean having to receive phone calls and SMS messages from our bosses making our days of leave no different from days of work
同時，關於17天公眾假期的問題，大家其實也知道增加假期理論上可以刺激消費。
At the same time regarding the 17 days of public holidays we know that increasing the number of holidays can stimulate consumption in theory
雖然我剛才說大家放假時大多會外遊，但問題是如果工時減少，便會有較多人願意選擇在這些假期留港消費。
Although I said just now that most of us will join tours and leave Hong Kong during our days of leave more people will choose to stay in Hong Kong and spend money here during these holidays if our working hours are reduced
另一點是關於錢的問題。
Another issue is money
關於錢的問題，其實大家必須留意，香港工會聯合會在兩個月前公布由2004年至2017年，在扣除通脹後，每年實質工資平均只有0.2多個百分點的增長，其實少得可憐，反映香港的經濟結構極不健康，即是說資產收益遠高於生產力收益的增長，而這是很重要的關鍵。
We must note that the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU announced two months ago that from 2004 to 2017 in real terms after discounting inflation wages had grown by only a little more that 0.2 % per year . Such a low growth rate was miserable . This reflects that the economic structure of Hong Kong is extremely unhealthy profits generated by capital is very much higher than the growth of income earned by the productive force
同時，在某程度上，這亦反映樓價和租金升幅較工資升幅快。
This is a very important key point . At the same time to a certain degree this also reflects that property prices and rents have been rising faster than wages
事實上，大家可以想象，那些買了物業並正在供樓的人基本上是為銀行打工，而那些租樓的人其實亦是為業主打工。
Actually we all know that people who have purchased flats and are servicing mortgages are basically just working for the banks . Rent - payers are just working for their landlords
事實上，香港"劏房"的呎租已經直迫豪宅，令一群原本既有消費力又有需求的人無法外出消費。
Actually the per - square - foot rents of subdivided units are already catching up with the rents of luxury apartments
大家經常說甲類消費物價指數反映的是基本生活開支，例如"柴米油鹽醬醋茶"或"衣食住行"等，但問題是這些開支是否平均分配呢？
A group of people who originally had the money and the need to spend it are now no longer able to go out and make spending . We often say that Consumer Price Index A reflects expenditures on fuel rice cooking oil salt vinegar and tea or in other words basic needs like food clothing housing and transportation but the problem is whether these expenditures are distributed evenly
單單在住屋方面，已佔去很多"劏房戶"或租戶的工資四成以上，他們還有甚麼餘錢可消費？
For many occupants of subdivided units as well as many other rent - payers expenditure on housing alone takes up more than 40 % of their wages . How much money is left for them to spend?
另一方面，我們剛才提到"綠置居"或居屋，由於兩者均與市價掛鈎，其售價越來越偏離市民的負擔能力。
Just now we also talked about the Green Form Subsidized Home Ownership Scheme or the Home Ownership Scheme . As both of these two schemes have their prices pegged to market prices their prices are becoming more and more unaffordable to the citizens
住屋問題未能解決，市民又何來金錢消費？
With the housing problem unsolved how can the citizens have any money to spend?
代理主席，剛才很多議員均從民生角度理解拉動內需和擴大客源，於是牽扯到接待旅客的能力。
Deputy President just now many Members have considered opening up new visitor sources and stimulating internal demand from the point of view of peoples livelihood . They were thus led to consider also the issue of visitor receiving capability
主席，邵家輝議員的原議案的主旨是促請政府善用有利的公共財政條件，拉動內需，擴大客源，並且強調政府的財政儲備豐裕，應該推出更多改善民生的措施，藉此還富於民。
President the main theme of the original motion moved by Mr SHIU Ka - fai is to urge the Government to make good use of this favourable state of public finance to stimulate internal demand and open up new visitor sources . And it also emphasizes that the Government should launch more measures to improve peoples livelihood given the ample fiscal reserves so as to return wealth to people
香港經濟民生聯盟認為政府既有大量盈餘，一方面應該投資未來，一方面應該關顧民生，亦應該適當讓市民共享經濟成果。
With such an enormous surplus the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA believes that the Government should invest in the future while caring for peoples livelihood and share the fruit of economic prosperity with the public as appropriate
日前當局公布財政預算案的"補漏拾遺"方案，向合資格市民發放現金4,000元。
A few days ago the Government announced a plan on the Budget to fill the gap and grant a sum of 4,000 in cash to eligible citizens
經民聯認為，政府願意聆聽社會的意見，"加碼"與市民分享經濟成果，是值得歡迎和支持，希望當局盡快釐清受惠資格和"派錢"方法，讓合資格市民早日受惠，短期內對於拉動內需亦有所幫助。
The BPA welcomes and supports the Governments willingness to listen to the opinions of the community and share the economic prosperity with the public hoping that the Administration will determine the eligibility and the way to hand out cash as soon as possible so that qualified citizens may benefit early . This may also help stimulate internal demand in the near term
長遠而言，要拉動內需，不能夠靠本地人"塘水滾塘魚"。
In the long run we cannot rely on local people to stimulate internal demand
不論邵家輝議員的原議案，抑或姚思榮議員、田北辰議員和胡志偉議員的修正案，都要求政府加快增設旅遊配套設施，以提高香港接待旅客的能力和容量。
The original motion moved by Mr SHIU Ka - fai and the amendments of Mr YIU Si - wing Mr Michael TIEN and Mr WU Chi - wai request the Government to expedite the provision of additional tourism supporting facilities to upgrade Hong Kongs visitor receiving capability and capacity
經民聯對這項議題一直非常關注，認為特區政府應該善用財政盈餘，加快投放資源，增設旅遊配套設施，適度擴大旅客客源及鞏固香港好客之都的形象。
BPA has all along kept a keen interest in this topic and believes that the SAR Government should make good use of the fiscal surplus expedite the allocation of resources for the provision of additional tourism supporting facilities appropriately open up new visitor sources and consolidate Hong Kongs image as a hospitable city
具體擴大旅客客源的措施包括：一、優化內地旅客來港"個人遊"政策，容許內地電子護照持有人經網上申請簽注來港，以便利旅客訪港；二、積極拓展新的旅遊項目，例如當局應該推出更多措施，鼓勵旅客以香港作為郵輪旅遊的上落客點並留港消費，以及增撥資源，讓香港旅遊發展局與鄰近國家和地區共同開發更多"一程多站"的旅遊產品。
Specific measures to open up new visitor sources include 1 enhancing the Individual Visit Scheme policy for Mainlanders intending to visit Hong Kong by allowing Mainland e - passport holders to apply online for endorsement to visit Hong Kong so as to facilitate the entry of visitors; 2 proactively exploring new tourism projects such as introducing more measures to encourage visitors to use Hong Kong as the embarking and disembarking port in their cruise tours and make spending in Hong Kong and allocating more resources to the Hong Kong Tourism Board for joint development of more multi - destination tourism products with neighbouring countries and regions
同時，政府應該積極與粵澳兩地商討，落實粵港澳遊艇"自由行"的安排，以促進遊艇旅遊業的發展；三、政府應該持續改善本地旅遊和會議及展覽業的設施，以吸引更多來自新興市場而具潛力的海外旅客來港。
Meanwhile the Government should proactively hold discussions with Guangdong and Macao on implementing an arrangement for Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao sailing by pleasure vessels so as to promote the development of pleasure vessel tourism industry; 3 the Government should continuously improve local facilities of the tourism industry and the convention and exhibition industries so as to attract more overseas visitors with potential from emerging markets to Hong Kong
此外，政府亦應該致力增加香港的特色景點，進一步增加資源，以保存和推廣香港的傳統文化，並透過在政策法規上拆牆鬆綁，活化偏遠鄉村，以及積極開拓鄉郊生態旅遊資源，以達致旅遊產品多元化。
In addition the Government should endeavour to increase Hong Kongs unique attractions further beef up resources for preservation and promotion of Hong Kongs traditional culture revitalizing remote villages by removing the restrictions imposed by policies and regulations and proactively explore eco - tourism resources in rural areas with a view to achieving diversification in tourism products
當局應該透過落實廣深港高速鐵路香港段的"一地兩檢"安排，並且把握未來港珠澳大橋落成後帶來的機遇，採取針對性策略吸引更多旅客來港旅遊和消費，我認為有需要深入探討一番。
Through implementing the co - location arrangement at the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL and seizing the opportunities brought forth by the completion of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB in the future the Government should adopt focused strategies to attract more visitors to Hong Kong for tours and consumption . I think there is a need to explore all of these in depth
眾所周知，廣深港高鐵香港段預設在今年第三季通車，本會《廣深港高鐵條例草案》委員會正在加緊進行審議。
As we all know the Hong Kong section of XRL is scheduled to be commissioned in the third quarter this year . The Bills Committee on Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill of this Council is holding deliberations in earnest
我和經民聯的議員同事都十分認同和支持高鐵香港段在西九龍站實施"一地兩檢"的目標，並且期待相關條例草案在本年度暑假休會前獲立法會通過，為廣大市民帶來最大的方便和裨益。
Colleagues from BPA and I very much agree and support the objective of implementing the co - location arrangement in the West Kowloon Station at the Hong Kong section of XRL and look forward to the passage of the Bill by this Council before the Council rises in summer this year so as to bring the greatest convenience and benefits to the general public
因為香港有"一國兩制"的獨特優勢，可以值着高鐵這項策略性基建，進一步加快參與"一帶一路"和粵港澳大灣區建設的進程，無縫對接泛亞經濟圈，有助於香港工商百業開拓更廣闊的市場和空間，促進香港長遠發展及提升競爭力。
Since Hong Kong enjoys the unique advantage under one country two systems it may leverage this strategic infrastructure of XRL to further expedite its participation in the Belt and Road Initiative and the construction of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area and seamlessly connect with the Pan - Asian Economic Circle to help Hong Kongs commercial and industrial sectors explore broader markets and horizons promote the long - term development of Hong Kong and upgrade its competitiveness
西九站的目標和作用是幫助提升香港成為主要區域樞紐。
The objective and purpose of the West Kowloon Station are to help promote Hong Kong as a major regional hub
我們有三跑道系統的國際機場、港珠澳大橋、國際級的郵輪碼頭等對外連接的優質基建，加上高鐵香港段，海陸空運輸系統能夠便利連接到西九，融入廣闊的高鐵網絡。
With the three - runway system international airport HZMB a world - class cruise terminal and other high - quality infrastructure for external connections coupled with the Hong Kong section of XRL the land sea and air transportation system can be easily connected to West Kowloon and integrated with the vast XRL network
這個由香港海陸空基建形成的區域樞紐的巨大作用，不應該被低估和矮化。
The tremendous effect of this regional hub formed by the land sea and air infrastructure of Hong Kong should not be underestimated and dwarfed
從務實的角度看，"一地兩檢"是高鐵通車的必需條件，亦是西九站設計有15個月台的原因。
Pragmatically the co - location arrangement is a requisite for the commissioning of XRL and the reason for 15 platforms designed for the West Kowloon Station
