Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Gregory So said the expansion and development of the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort is good for Hong Kong and is something positive that the Government needs to move forward.
He made the statement after legislators passed a non-binding motion today urging the Government to postpone the plan.
The Government announced the plan last week and introduced it to the Legislative Council Economic Development Panel this morning.
“I hope that LegCo members can act fast. It is important that we enhance the competitiveness of our theme park in Hong Kong,” Mr So said.
Asked whether the motion was moved because the legislators are not happy with the lack of information, he said the Government will try to answer lawmakers’ questions, adding he is not surprised by their reactions.
“Any time when there is a proposal for injection of capital, there will always be a lot of issues that would be dug up.”
He will not underestimate the difficulty involved in the injection of capital to Disney, he added.
