Pyrotechnic shows to entice tourists

March 1, 2024

Secretary for Culture, Sports & Tourism Kevin Yeung:

I think the pyrotechnic show and also the drone show (are) part and parcel of the whole tourist experience.

It will be combined with other tourist attractions - like other major activities, so that when tourists come to Hong Kong, they (will) have more activities to participate (in) and can have a fuller experience of Hong Kong.

So, in the long run, I am sure that it will (entice) more tourists to come to Hong Kong (and) promote Hong Kong as a favourite tourist spot all over the world, and that will, of course, in the long term, bring economic benefits to Hong Kong.

Secretary for Culture, Sports & Tourism Kevin Yeung said monthly pyrotechnic and drone shows held against the backdrop of Victoria Harbour, as proposed in the 2024-25 Budget, will enrich tourists’ travel experience in Hong Kong.

Mr Yeung made the remarks at a press conference today to elaborate on Budget initiatives under the Culture, Sports & Tourism Bureau, adding that the shows are part and parcel of the whole tourist experience.
