The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) has released the visitor arrivals data for February 2021, there were approximately 5,500 (3,799 from the mainland, 1,696 non-mainland) a 97.2% drop year on year.
The HKTB noted that the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism in Hong Kong began at about the same time last year, with monthly visitor arrivals dropping from 3.2 million in January 2020 to 200,000 in February 2020.
In the coming months as the visitor arrivals base in the comparable period, last year decreases significantly, the year-on-year decline in monthly visitor arrivals to Hong Kong will appear to narrow.
