Japan Popular in the Growing Hong Kong Outbound Market Affluent FIT & Regional Trade attend ITE, Hong Kong�s only travel fair

TOKYO, JAPAN�- Media OutReach - 4 March 2019 – Rising rapidly in this
decade to 2.2 million in 2017, Hong Kong outbound to Japan stalled in
2018!  Why ? Probably due to natural disasters there as Hong Kong
market keep growing!

 

In fact,
Hong Kong outbound package tours saw total revenue in 2018 grew 8.1%; for tours
during Spring Festival 2019, short haul tours saw 5% more travelers while price
no change, and long haul grew 10% despite cost increase of 5% to 10%! The city
rank
World’s Tenth largest market by total outbound
spending
in 2016!  Though with only 7.4 million
people, it spent
US$25.5 billion on outbound in 2017,
up 5.8%
!

 

A survey
last November (1002 Hongkongers replied) found Japan, Singapore and South Korea
top three popular Asian destinations! Also, Japan the top destination based on
Airbnb Hong Kong bookings for holidays during Spring Festival this year! Media
reported recently 80% of Hokkaido’s 4 top ski resorts are from Asia, two third
of them from Hong Kong.  Many prefectures of Japan exhibit in ITE Hong
Kong with co-exhibitors, taking overall 80 to 90 booths in each of the recent
years! 

 

ITE in
2018 drew in two trade days
12460 buyers & visitors (6580 from travel agents & 2567
MICE; 9000 from Hong Kong & 2600 from China); in two public days over
90000 visitors
(84% FIT; 58% three or more holidays a year & 40% one to
two holidays). In fact. ITE draw 2000 buyers and trade visitors from the 9 top
Guangdong cities like Shenzhen and Gaungzhou of the Great Bay Area, which has a
combined GDP of nearly US$1.5 trillion and 70 million people. New bridge and
speed train extension will likely bring more Guangdong visitors to ITE.
