Shafaqna English- Hong Kong will double down on efforts to promote premium travel experiences targeting visitors from the Middle East to supercharge the city’s growth as a leading Muslim-friendly and luxury tourism destination, the city’s tourism chief said. During a press conference on the recent Policy Address, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law Shuk-pui said the special administrative region government will continue working with various sectors to draw in big spenders. Middle East visitor arrivals to Hong Kong skyrocketed year-on-year by 40 percent in the first eight months of 2025, reaching around 54,000, with each spending an average of HK$10,400 ($1,338) — nearly twice the average expenditure of visitors to the city at HK$5,400.
