    2025 mega-events calendar / HKJC's financial literacy programme

    On Thursday’s Backchat, we’re talking about the government’s plans to attract new visitors.

    Tourism authorities unveiled a list of 93 mega events for the first half of next year, which are expected to draw 840,000 visitors, a 50% rise on the same period this year. The government estimates these events could generate up to HK$3.3 billion in spending, up 40% on this year’s figure.
    From the Rugby Sevens next March to Coldplay’s concert in April, 2025 will also mark the first year of the new Kai Tak stadium, with a capacity of 50,000 seats.
    So will 2025 be an auspicious year for the events industry? After 9:45, we’ll learn about the Jockey Club’s new financial education programme.

    Premium taxi licenses / Smartphone stethoscope

    Presenters:Danny Gittings and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we're talking about premium taxis.

    The first such luxury cabs are expected to hit the streets in the next few months, with more than 1,500 to follow by next year, after transport authorities approved five premium taxi fleet licenses.
    Fleet operators will be required to accept e-payment and use vehicles less than three years old, while passengers will also be given the option to book the cabs online.
    The move was largely welcomed by taxi representatives, although critics have challenged the "premium" designation, arguing that such standards should be imposed on all of the city's 18,000 cabs. Questions have also been raised about the lack of newcomers, as the approved operators are all well established in the city's taxi trade.
    Is this a step in the right direction? Tell us what you think.
    After 9:45, we're talking about a new medical-grade smartphone stethoscope which can help detect heart diseases.
