行政立法關係的另一個重要溝通渠道，是我和內務委員會副主席與政務司司長在每次內務委員會例會後的定期會面。
Another important communication channel between the executive and the legislature is the regular meeting between me and Deputy Chairman of the House Committee and the Chief Secretary for Administration after the regular meeting of House Committee
我在連任後第一次與政務司司長會面時強調，我和副主席在今個立法年度會繼續扮演橋樑的角色，致力促進行政立法關係。
When I met with the Chief Secretary for Administration for the first time after I was re - elected as Chairman of the House Committee I stressed that I and the Deputy Chairman will continue to play a bridging role in this legislative year and strive to promote the executive - legislature relationship
司長亦表示，他和政府團隊將以最大的誠意與議員保持溝通和互動，共同努力為市民服務。
The Chief Secretary also stated that he and the Government team will work to maintain communication and interaction with Members with the utmost sincerity and to make concerted efforts to serve the public
我希望行政當局與立法機關之間有更暢順的合作，令立法會可以代表市民大眾，發揮更大的監察角色。
I hope that there will be more smooth cooperation between the Administration and the legislature so that the Legislative Council can play a greater monitoring role on behalf of the public
在上周剛舉行的內務委員會會議上，議員就政府官員在立法會會議以至委員會會議上對議員提出的質詢所作的回應，表示不滿。
At the House Committee meeting held last week Members expressed dissatisfaction at the response of public officers to questions raised by Members in the Legislative Council meetings and committee meetings
他們認為政府官員未能全面回應議員的質詢，答覆的質素亦有待改善。
They thought that the public officers had not fully responded to Members questions and the quality of the replies in need of improvement
我已立即向政務司司長反映議員的意見，司長亦承諾會全面了解議員所提及的質詢個案，並會要求相關部門盡力提供議員所需要的資料和數據。
I have immediately conveyed the views of Members to the Chief Secretary for Administration . The Chief Secretary also promised to fully investigate the cases referred to in the questions and would urge the relevant departments to make every effort to provide the information and data requested by Members
我期望政府當局盡快回應議員的關注。
I hope that the Administration will respond to Members concerns as soon as possible
審議法案亦是立法會的重要職責。
The scrutiny of bills is also an important task of the Legislative Council
根據政府當局剛向立法會提交的本年度立法議程，立法會將須審議22項法案，包括《國歌條例草案》，以及已於11月2日刊憲的《2018年廢物處置條例草案》，可見在未來1年，立法會審議法案的工作相當繁重。
According to the legislative programme presented by the Administration to the Legislative Council this year the Legislative Council will have to scrutinize 22 bills including the National Anthem Bill as well as the Waste Disposal Amendment Bill 2018 which was gazetted on 2 November . It can thus be seen that in the coming year the Legislative Council will have a very heavy workload in terms of bill scrutiny
行政長官在施政報告提出了244項新措施，涵蓋範圍甚廣，除社會聚焦討論的房屋和土地供應外，亦包括多項與市民息息相關的教育、勞工、醫療和福利措施。
The Chief Executive has proposed 244 new measures in the Policy Address covering a very wide range of subjects . Apart from the land and housing supply which is the focus of community discussion measures in education labour health care services and welfare which are closely related to the public are also included
在施政報告發表後，社會對某些新政策方向和措施，例如"明日大嶼"計劃，有很多不同的聲音。
Since the presentation of the Policy Address we have heard many different voices from the community on certain new policy directions and measures such as the Lantau Tomorrow Vision
雖然我認為這項填海計劃方向正確，但社會對計劃有疑慮，是可以理解的，因為需要投放的資源龐大，對環境亦有一定影響。
Although I think that the direction of this reclamation programme is correct it is understandable that the community has doubts about it because of the huge resource input needed and its impact on the environment
政府當局必須向市民做好解說工作，以釋除各方的疑慮。
The Government must do a good job of explaining to the public so as to dispel the doubts of all parties
我預期在這3天的辯論環節中，議員會就各項新措施積極表達意見，以至作出批評，相信政府當局亦會理解。
I expect that during the three - day debate sessions Members will actively express their views on various new initiatives and even make criticisms . This I believe the Administration will understand
立法會議員一直努力以維護整體社會利益和爭取香港市民應有權益為目標，無論是代表功能界別或由地區直選產生的議員，均十分了解其選民的訴求。
Legislative Council Members have set the goal of upholding the interests of the community as a whole and striving for the rights and interests of Hong Kong people whether they are returned by functional constituencies or directly elected through geographical constituencies and they are fully aware of the aspirations of their voters
我衷心希望行政長官及各政策局細心聆聽議員提出的意見，以及各持份者和不同階層市民的訴求，盡力尋求共識，令有利社會經濟發展和改善民生的措施得以早日落實。
I sincerely hope that the Chief Executive and the Policy Bureaux will listen carefully to the views raised by Members as well as the aspirations voiced by various stakeholders and different sectors of the community . We will endeavour to seek a consensus so that the measures which are conducive to social and economic development and improvement of peoples livelihood can be implemented early
主席，行政長官在施政報告中強調要迎難而上，堅定前行。
President the Chief Executive has laid particular stress on rising to challenges and striving ahead in her Policy Address
我固然希望行政長官"建設好香港"的宏願可以早日實現，而我亦相信，如果目標方向一致，立法會議員會樂意成為與政府前行的夥伴，本着求同存異的精神，共同為香港整體福祉努力向前邁進。
I certainly hope that her vision of building a better Hong Kong can be realized at an early date . I also believe that if we can set a common goal Legislative Council Members are willing to join hands with the Government to move forward together and strive for the collective interests of Hong Kong in the spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences
主席，我謹此陳辭，提出議案。
With these remarks President I beg to move
主席，行政長官發表任內第二份施政報告，主題是"堅定前行燃點希望"，民主建港協進聯盟對施政報告的評價是："描劃未來，決心可嘉；細心聆聽，行之有道"。
President the Chief Executive has presented the second Policy Address within her term of office entitled Striving Ahead Rekindling Hope . The comments of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong DAB on the Policy Address are Depiction of the future with commendable determination; Listen carefully and act with good reasons
總體來說，報告的重點在於勾劃未來的土地供應藍圖，聚焦於土地開拓以至完善置業階梯，民建聯表示支持。
Overall the highlights of the Policy Address are outlining the blueprint of future land supply focusing on land development and improving the home ownership ladder . DAB supports all of these
事實上，市民普遍期望今屆政府要在土地開發上有所作為，讓市民看到政府在增加土地供應上的決心和魄力。
In fact the public generally expect the current - term Government to do more in land development so that they can see the Governments determination and boldness in increasing land supply
由於開拓土地以至實施其他政策細項的過程中必定會遇到很多挑戰，包括與既得利益者抗爭、反對派"為反而反"，亦需要照顧很多受影響的持份者，特別是漁民、環保人士的關注，所以，政府必須細心聆聽，行之有道，以爭取廣大市民的認同。
Land development and the implementation of other policy details will meet with many challenges in the process such as conflicts with people with vested interests and opposition by the opposition camp for the sake of opposition . It will also need to cater to the concerns of many stakeholders affected especially fishermen and environmentalists . Therefore the Government must listen carefully and act with good reasons to win the approval of the general public
除了土地房屋問題之外，施政報告亦接納了民建聯提出的多項建議，包括將中醫納入本港醫療體系、在規劃中的中醫院及18所三方合營的中醫門診提供資助門診和住院服務。
Apart from the land and housing issues the Policy Address has also taken on board a number of suggestions made by DAB including the incorporation of Chinese medicine into the health care system in Hong Kong as well as the provision of subsidized outpatient services and inpatient services in the planned Chinese medicine hospital and 18 Chinese Medicine Centres operating under a tripartite model
這是政府多年施政以來在中醫發展上的一大突破。
This is a major breakthrough in the development of Chinese medicine in the many years of administration by the Government
在民生方面亦接納了民建聯不少建議，包括延長現時10周法定產假至14周；把長者生活津貼擴展至廣東及福建省，讓更多選擇回鄉養老的長者受惠。
In peoples livelihood issues many proposals from DAB have been accepted including extension of the statutory maternity leave from the current 10 weeks to 14 weeks; extension of the coverage of the Old Age Living Allowance to the two provinces of Guangdong and Fujian which will benefit more elderly persons who choose to reside in their hometowns
在增加照顧幼兒服務、加強對殘疾人士、精神病康復者、少數族裔的支援上，亦推出了新的支援措施，並且推出25億元的"優化升降機資助計劃"；在不同地方包括東涌市中心興建街市；延長公務員退休年齡；以及展開紀律部隊職系架構檢討等，這些都是我們認同及爭取多年的政策。
New support measures have also been introduced to enhance child care services and to strengthen support services for persons with disabilities ex - mental patients and the ethnic minorities . There are also measures including launching a 2.5 billion Lift Modernisation Subsidy Scheme; construction of public markets in different places including Tung Chung town centre; extension of the retirement age of civil servants and the commencement of the Grade Structure Review on the Disciplined Services . All of these policies are recognized and being striven for by us for many years
主席，先談談今次施政報告的重點"明日大嶼"。
President let me first talk about the key issue of this Policy Address―Lantau Tomorrow
這個填海造地計劃引起了社會廣泛討論。
This programme of reclamation and land creation has induced widespread discussions in the community
民建聯認同香港現時非常缺乏土地，無論在經濟發展、住屋交通、安老以至市民的文娛康樂都需要大量土地，而"明日大嶼"透過離岸填海造地，做法值得肯定。
DAB agrees that the problem of land shortage in Hong Kong is very serious because we require a lot of land for economic development housing and transport elderly service and cultural and recreational activities for the public . The initiative of Lantau Tomorrow is about off - shore land reclamation and is worthy of recognition
主席，必須強調，填海造地從來不是洪水猛獸，反而是香港成功的一個大因素。
President I must emphasize that reclamation has never been a scourge rather it has been a major factor of Hong Kongs success
香港由小小漁村發展至國際都會，經常要面對"地從何來"這個問題。
Hong Kong has developed from a small fishing village to a cosmopolitan city . We face the land shortage problem all the time
若當年政府不進行移山填海，就沒有今天的中環、灣仔，更別說沙田、將軍澳、東涌等新市鎮。
If the Government had not reclaimed land back then we would not have Central Wan Chai today let alone new towns such as Sha Tin Tseung Kwan O and Tung Chung
截至2016年，香港約有7,000公頃的土地是透過填海取得的，佔香港已發展土地面積25%。
As at 2016 about 7 000 hectares of land in Hong Kong were formed by reclamation representing 25 % of the built - up area
這些新增的土地，容納了約27%人口及 70%商業活動。
Such reclaimed land accommodates about 27 % of Hong Kongs total population and 70 % of its commercial activities
不過，大家都知道，在最近20年由於不同的原因，填海造地的數量大幅下降。
However as we all know the area of land reclaimed has dropped sharply in the last two decades due to various reasons causing the land supply for housing and other uses to seriously lag behind demand in recent years
相應地，近年用作房屋以至其他用途的土地供應嚴重落後，導致土地房屋問題成為香港其中一個最深層次的矛盾。
As a result the land and housing problem has become one of the most deep - rooted conflicts in Hong Kong
當然，隨着環保意識提高，社會較以往更關注填海對生態的影響。
Certainly public awareness of environmental protection has been heightened and the community has grown more concerned about the impact of reclamation on ecology than ever before
不過，填海技術不斷改良，只要配合小心規劃，填海對生態的影響亦可以盡量減少。
However the technologies of reclamation have been constantly improving . As long as it is planned carefully the impact of reclamation on marine ecology could be minimized
正如有評論說歐洲重視環保，但丹麥早前公布的全新基建及住房大計，核心項目也是在首都哥本哈根興建人工島，讓數萬人居住。
As some commentaries said Europe attaches importance to environmental protection . However earlier in Denmark a new infrastructure and housing plan was announced with the core project being building an artificial island in capital Copenhagen providing homes to tens of thousands of people
主席，環顧周邊的地方和國家，很多也有大規模填海造地，新加坡的成功與發展亦離不開填海，歷年來填海100多平方公里，10年後還要再填海50平方公里。
President looking around our neighbours there have been massive reclamations in many places and countries . The success and development of Singapore also depends very much on land reclamation with more than 100 sq km reclaimed over the years and a further 50 sq km to be reclaimed in the next 10 years
填海造地為新加坡以至鄰近的澳門所創造的價值及效益，是大家有目共睹的。
The value and benefits created by reclamation for Singapore and the neighboring Macao are obvious to all
主席，回望過去一段長時間，香港錯失了很多發展造地的機遇。
President looking back at the past Hong Kong has missed many opportunities of land development over a long period of time
我時常反思，如果當年沒有放棄"八萬五"，如果沒有因為金融風暴而放棄造地，如果政府有土地儲備，今天的房屋土地問題便不會如此突顯，年青人、中產亦不會因買不到樓而積累怨氣。
I have thought over and over again that if we had not given up the 85 000 housing construction target during that time if we had not given up on making land because of the financial turmoil and if the Government has land in reserve the land and housing problem would not have grown to be so grave today and the grievances of young people and the middle class who cannot buy a home would not be so strong
因此，主席，社會必須汲取教訓，對於造地問題不能再議而不決，蹉跎歲月，否則就愧對年青人和正在輪候公屋的人士。
Therefore President we must learn the lessons and should not continue to waste time and engage in discussion without decision on the issue of land development; otherwise we should feel remorseful in the face of the young people and those on the public rental housing PRH waiting list
主席，"明日大嶼"涉及填海造地，開支估計達數千億元。
President Lantau Tomorrow involves land reclamation and the estimated expenditure is several hundred billion dollars
市民關心其成本效益、是否物有所值、工程會否超支、政府的監控能力等，其實絕對可以理解，亦是政府必須處理的疑慮。
People are worried about whether the programme will be cost - effective whether it is worthwhile will there be cost overruns as well as the Governments capability of monitoring the project . All of these are absolutely understandable and also worries that must be addressed by the Government
主席，我總結有五大疑慮及要求，希望政府推動政策時必須處理。
President altogether I have five key worries and requests that I hope the Government must deal with in taking forward the policies
第一個疑問是填海的規模，這部分政府已經即時回應，先展開1,000公頃的填海工程，若有需要才啟動其餘部分。
First it is about the scale of reclamation . The Government has responded to this instantly . They will first work on a reclamation project of 1 000 hectares and work on the rest if it is needed
分階段的安排，我們是支持的，亦合乎現實情況。
We support this phased approach as it is in line with the reality
第二個疑問是造價昂貴。
The second worry is that the reclamation project is too costly
填海造地是否物有所值？
Does it worth it?
我相信政府必須小心回應這方面的擔憂及關心。
I believe the Government must respond carefully to such worries and concerns
香港作為外向型的經濟體系，若經濟下滑，能否應付？
Hong Kong is an externally - oriented economy if our economy turns bad can we cope?
第三個要求是政府控制成本的能力。
The third request is the Governments ability to control cost
主席，近年的基建經常出現超支，市民只能無奈接受。
President in recent years we have seen cost overruns in infrastructure projects . The public have no choice but to accept them
政府看到這些情況會否痛定思痛，改革招 標及成本監控機制？
Will the Government learn from these bitter experiences and try to reform the tendering and cost monitoring mechanism?
這點政府必須重點回應，否則會嚴重影響市民和立法會對於投資基建的信心，亦容易讓人有機可乘，誇大成本，引起不必要的反對。
The Government must give a pertinent reply to this point . Otherwise the confidence of the public and the Legislative Council in the Governments ability to take forward infrastructure investments will be seriously affected . It will also make it easier for people to take advantage of it to exaggerate costs thus causing unnecessary opposition
第四個要求是妥善處理因填海而受損的持份者，特別是漁民。
The fourth request is to properly deal with those stakeholders who would be adversely affected by reclamation especially the fishermen
至今，漁民多年來提出很多可持續發展的政策要求，都是"只聞樓梯響"，甚至沒有響過。
So far the fishermen have put forward many policy requirements for supporting sustainable development however we can only hear some noises or even nothing at all with no specific measures seen
反之，一項又一項的政策，確實令他們的生存空間不斷收窄，令他們非常擔心。
On the contrary government policies launched one after another have indeed restricted their room for survival and made them feel very worried
第五，當然要做好環評，盡力減低對生態環境的影響。
The fifth is certainly to do a proper environmental impact assessment to minimize the impact on the ecological environment
很多市民都非常愛惜香港的自然環境，極不願意看到環境受影響。
Many people cherish the natural environment in Hong Kong and they are extremely reluctant to see the environment being affected
主席，回應疑慮是必須的。
President the Government must respond to our concerns
但是，部分別有用心的人妖魔化"明日大嶼"，有些更誇大填海的開支，甚至製造中港矛盾，上綱上線，誇張地說會花光香港的儲備。
However some people with ulterior motives demonize Lantau Tomorrow . Some of them exaggerate the reclamation cost . Some have even tried to create conflicts between Hong Kong and the Mainland by escalating the issue to a higher plane of principle and exaggerated that all the reserves in Hong Kong would be depleted
這種說法明顯誤導，是為反對而反對。
This statement is obviously misleading and these people are opposing for the sake of opposition
首先，人工島計劃歷時約20年，所以有關開支平均每年大約數百億元。
For one thing the artificial island construction project will last about 20 years so the average expenditure will be about tens of billions of dollars per annum
造地本身能夠創造巨大的價值，而且這個價值尚未計算因造地而帶來的商業或其他效益。
Creating land itself will create enormous value and also there will be commercial and other benefits to be brought about by reclamation
即使日後經濟逆轉，政府收入大不如前，填海計劃其實是分階段進行的，所以，現時還未知道計劃詳情便第一時間衝出來指計劃會花光儲備，因而反對填海，這樣真是別有用心，為反對而反對，誇大成本。
Even if the economy turns bad later and the Government does not have so much income as before the fact is that the reclamation project is to be carried out in phases . If somebody should jump out in the first instance to claim that all of the reserves will be depleted without knowing the details and then oppose the reclamation I will consider them harbouring ulterior motives and opposing for the sake of opposition by exaggerating the reclamation cost
主席，我看到另一部分人上綱上線，試圖製造中港矛盾，說填海是否為了容納"新香港人"。
President I have seen some other people inflating the issue out of proportions . They are trying to create conflicts between Hong Kong and the Mainland and querying this reclamation project as being intended to accommodate new Hongkongers
其實，這些就是製造對立，如果根據這種邏輯，這些人可能會反對其他所有建屋選項。
In fact they are creating conflicts . Going by this logic they may also oppose all the other housing options as well
所以，主席，社會對於"明日大嶼"的討論，有部分已經流於政治或民粹操作，目的是煽動反對情緒。
Therefore President I think that some of the discussions on Lantau Tomorrow have become political or populist manipulations with the aim of inciting resentful sentiments
主席，妖魔化填海造地實質是要再拖政府後腿。
President demonizing land reclamation actually means pulling the leg of the Government again
其實，聰明的市民只要想想，便知道如果香港長期被房屋土地問題繼續困擾，市民怨氣繼續積累，社會停滯發展，受害的是誰，得益的又是誰？
In fact when people come to think about this they should be smart enough to realize that if Hong Kong continues to be bothered by the housing and land problems long term peoples grievances will continue to accumulate and the development of society will become stagnant . Then who are going to suffer and who are going to benefit?
主席，"明日大嶼"是長遠的土地供應，政府需要思考長遠，但更需要迫切解決市民的燃眉之急。
President Lantau Tomorrow is about long - term land supply so the Government has to make long - term considerations . Nonetheless the Government needs to urgently resolve pressing issues of the people as well
所以，社會其實希望政府提出一些短中期的土地供應，以滿足市民上樓的需求。
Therefore the community actually hopes that the Government will come up with some short - and medium - term land supply options to meet their housing needs
主席，今次施政報告除了提出"明日大嶼"外，亦有其他拓展土地的建議：收回閒置土地、善用工業邨、新界棕地、農地及舊區重建等，這部分我留給其他議員在相關環節討論。
President apart from Lantau Tomorrow there are other proposals on land development in the Policy Address eg . resumption of idle sites optimizing the use of industrial estates brownfield sites in the New Territories agricultural land and redevelopment of old districts . I will leave these to other Members to talk about in other relevant sessions
舊區重建亦是解決房屋問題的一大方法，亦是市民所期望的。
Redevelopment of old districts is also a major solution to the housing problem and this is also an aspiration of the public
可惜在過去一段時間政府對於舊區重建沒有全盤規劃，只是逐幢樓宇收購。
Unfortunately the Government failed to take a comprehensive approach to this for some time in the past
這種單幢的發展模式無法兼顧整區的規劃，亦不能夠比較切實地改善舊區的環境。
With the mode of development of single - block buildings the Government just acquired buildings one by one failing to take care of the overall planning of the whole district nor could it improve the environment of the old districts more effectively
另一方面，市民亦期望政府可以啟動舊邨重建，但施政報告並無詳細提及，我亦希望在相關環節，政府可以回應。
In the meanwhile the public also hopes that the Government can start the redevelopment of ageing estates . However the Policy Address has not mentioned this in detail . I also hope that the Government will respond to this in the relevant debate session
主席，至於施政報告其他部分內容，民建聯的議員會在其他環節表達看法。
President the DAB Members will express their views on other parts of the Policy Address in other sessions
總括而言，民建聯支持施政報告的致謝議案，反對修正案，亦期望行政長官及其團隊迎難而上，特別在開拓土地方面，不能再議而不決。
Overall DAB supports the Motion of Thanks on the Policy Address and will vote against the amendments . We also hope that the Chief Executive and her team will rise to challenges act quickly especially on resolving land issues and cease to hold discussions without making decisions
主席，行政長官公布了任內第二份施政報告。
President the Chief Executive has presented her second Policy Address in her term of office
整體而言，我認同這份施政報告較上一份全面，在開發土地、房屋、醫療、福利及教育等民生問題上下了不少工夫，亦能提出具前瞻性和務實的建議。
Overall I agree that this Policy Address is more comprehensive than the last one . It has made quite a lot of efforts at livelihood issues such as land development housing health care welfare and education with forward - looking and practical proposals
在旅遊業方面，施政報告在122段至124段亦作出了闡述，當中一些部分採納了我早前提出的建議，顯示政府對旅遊業界的關注。
In respect of the tourism industry the Policy Address has also made an elaboration in paragraphs 122 to 124 part of which has accepted the suggestions made by me earlier thus showing the Governments concern for the tourism industry
旅遊業屬於朝陽行業，是香港四大經濟支柱之一。
The tourism industry is a burgeoning industry one of the four significant economic pillars of Hong Kong
在粵港澳大灣區的規劃當中，香港是其中一個重要組成部分，旅遊資源豐富，具備區域的獨特性，所以只要我們好好把握機遇，就可以在機遇中謀求發展，在發展中尋求機遇。
In the planning of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area Hong Kong is one of the key components rich in tourism resources with unique characteristics in the region . Hence if we can seize the opportunities properly we will be able to pursue development with such opportunities and seek further opportunities in the course
以近月開通的港珠澳大橋和高鐵為例，它們既是重要的交通基建項目，可促進香港與內地和澳門的經濟聯繫，提升本港國際都會的地位和方便市民，同時亦是重要的旅遊資源，對香港的旅遊業發展起着相當重要的作用。
Take the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB and the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL which were commissioned in the past months as examples . They are important transport infrastructure projects which can promote Hong Kongs economic link with the Mainland and Macao strengthen Hong Kongs position as an international metropolis and provide people with convenience . At the same time they are important tourism resources with significant effects on the development of Hong Kongs tourism industry
當然，任何事情有利亦有弊，在港珠澳大橋10月24日通車後的第一個周日，已經有7萬多人使用大橋。
Certainly everything has its merits and demerits . On the first Sunday after the commissioning on 24 October HZMB was already used by some 70 000 people
在第二個周日更有破紀錄的10萬多人，超出大家的估算，主要原因是最近在內地不同城市的旅行社都以大橋為賣點，吸引慕名而來的自由行及旅行團的內地旅客，形成羊群效應。
On the following Sunday it even broke the record with some 100 000 users exceeding our estimation . The main reason is that travel agencies in different cities on the Mainland have recently used HZMB as a selling point attracting Mainland visitors under the Individual Visit Scheme or in tour groups thus creating a bandwagon effect
在9月底通車的廣深港高鐵，有助吸引3至5小時車程範圍內的城市的過夜高消費旅客到訪香港，香港市民到內地旅遊亦有更多不同的選擇。
The Hong Kong Section of XRL commissioned at the end of September can help attract overnight visitors with high spending power from cities within the reach of a journey time of three to five hours to Hong Kong
最近，香港鐵路有限公司在聽取旅遊業界的意見後，已在訂票和出票安排上作出調整，提供更多的方便。
The people of Hong Kong will also have more options when they travel to the Mainland . Recently heeding the views of the tourism industry the MTR Corporation Limited has adjusted the arrangements of reservation and issue of tickets offering greater convenience
旅行社將會在票務銷售、旅遊產品包裝及宣傳的安排上加大力度。
Travel agencies will enhance efforts in ticketing packaging of tourism products and promotion arrangements
隨着市民和遊客對高鐵的了解和認識增加，我相信高鐵車票的銷售會逐步上升，達到預期的指標。
As members of the public and visitors understand and know more about XRL I believe the sales of XRL tickets will gradually rise and reach the expected target
港珠澳大橋及高鐵建成，亦有助香港旅遊業界設計更多"一程多站"的旅遊產品，吸引更多海外旅客到訪香港，令香港的客源更國際化。
The completion of HZMB and XRL also facilitates the design of more multi - destination tourism products by the Hong Kong tourism sector to attract more visitors from overseas making the sources of visitors to Hong Kong more internationalized
