Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Gregory So has welcomed figures showing overall visitor arrivals for the first half of July were up 5.3% year-on-year.
Speaking to the media today he said it is too early to determine whether the rise suggests a new trend.
"We can see that in the month of June, overall, there is a decrease in tourist inflow of about 1.7% (year-on-year), but to turn that tide around in the first half of July is quite a positive sign.
"I hope this momentum will continue and I hope the Food Truck Pilot Scheme when it is implemented will add to the fabric of the attractions that we offer to our tourists."
