The chairman of the Tourism Board, Pang Yiu-kai, said on Saturday that they will be drawing up service guidelines with the help of members of the tourism industry after "travel bubbles" are put in place, to make sure visitors to the city stay safe and healthy.
The administration is discussing reciprocal quarantine-free travel arrangements with several countries, including Thailand, Japan and Germany.
Pang says they will put suggestions to health authorities after consulting different sectors.
“We wish to help industries, such as the hotel, transport and retail sectors, to have a clear set of service guidelines, so tourists can feel safe and enjoy their visit to Hong Kong,” Pang said.
He added that there were very few incoming tourists during the normally lucrative Golden Week holiday, because of border restrictions, and he hopes to encourage local tourism as the epidemic eases here.
