Hong Kong saw over 1 million mainland Chinese visitors during the five-day Labour Day "golden week" holiday, a 10% increase from the previous year and exceeding the government's forecast of 980,000. While authorities reported growth in shopping centres and the catering sector, with tourist areas seeing a 20% business increase, industry leaders noted inconsistent spending patterns among visitors. Hotel occupancy rates reached 90%, with room rates up 10% compared to prior long holidays. However, tourist spending primarily benefited traditional tourism districts like Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, and Causeway Bay, indicating a concentrated economic impact. Enforcement actions were also taken in Sai Kung for environmental offences.
