The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Edward Yau, on Thursday urged Hong Kong to adjust to the changing needs of modern day tourists.

He said today's visitors are not just looking for sightseeing and taking pictures.

They are seeking a full experience, however short their journey may be and wherever they go," Yau said. They should experience the city as a local does, he added.

The secretary said Hong Kong receives more than 58 million visitors each year. The majority are still from nearby places, but the number of long distance travellers is rising steadily.

Yau said Hong Kong has a heritage and nature that are unique to the SAR and these should be further promoted.
