The Working Group on Developing Tourist Hotspots has announced the first phase of nine tourism hotspot projects, namely Hong Kong Industrial Brand Tourism, Victoria Park Bazaar, Creating a Pink Trumpet Tree Garden, Featured community - In-depth travel in Old Town Central, Featured community - In-depth travel in Kowloon City, Disciplinary Services Pioneer Tours, Opening of the Former Yau Ma Tei Police Station, "Four Peaks" Tourism, and Revitalizing the Former Hung Hom Railway Freight Yard Pier.

Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration Cheuk Wing-hing, who also serves as the head of the working group, noted that there are no "hard targets" for how many tourists these projects have to bring to Hong Kong, but he estimated that they could bring substantial economic benefits.

Excluding the revitalization of the former Hung Hom Railway Freight Yard Pier, the other eight projects are expected to involve expenditures of HKD20-30 million, Cheuk added.
