The lawmaker representing Hong Kong’s embattled tourism industry has urged officials to press ahead with negotiating the return of international travel, saying most countries are open to setting up a quarantine-free system for those vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Yiu Si-wing on Friday called for talks on re-establishing travel links with Singapore and other destinations, while a business leader warned that discussions could be complicated by the differing approaches of governments to recognising vaccines.
