According to Huang Weilun, holding grand events in Hong Kong has great appeal to the local economy and can attract up to 4 million tourists. This data was provided by the Institute of Economic Advisers, who pointed out that the revenue brought by each 1.5 million tourists accounts for one thousandth of Hong Kong's GDP, which is about 3 billion yuan, showing that these events have a considerable economic contribution to Hong Kong.
Huang Weilun further emphasized that the goal of holding grand events is not only to attract tourists, but more importantly, to make citizens’ lives more colorful. He believes that these international events can bring more opportunities and challenges to Hong Kong and further enhance Hong Kong's international image.
These events can not only drive the development of local tourism, but also promote the growth of other related industries, such as the hotel industry, catering industry and retail industry. At the same time, these activities can also provide more employment opportunities for local residents and promote stable economic growth.
By hosting these events, Hong Kong's international status and influence can be further enhanced, and more foreign investment and talents can be attracted to Hong Kong for development. This will help promote Hong Kong's economic diversification and enhance the competitiveness of local industries.
Wong Weilun said that Hong Kong will continue to host more major events in the future to inject new vitality and impetus into the local economy. He called on the government and the business community to work together to create a more prosperous and stable Hong Kong, from which both citizens and tourists can benefit.
