Coronavirus: Hong Kong tourism industry to receive HK$377 million relief package to tide it over through border closures

Hong Kong’s beleaguered tourism industry will receive a HK$377 million (US$48 million) package of relief measures to help operators through the ongoing border closures during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Travel agents, tour guides, coach drivers and operators of cross-border vehicles and ferries are set to benefit from the government’s latest round of financial aid, with the first payments expected from early September.
