    Halal friendly tourism in Hong Kong / Airport passenger numbers and Cathay's new routes

    On Thursday's Backchat, we're talking about the development of Halal tourism in Hong Kong.

    Community leaders have called on the government to do more to attract practicing Muslim visitors by adding more prayer rooms and Halal certified restaurants. The suggestions come as the city is boosting economic exchanges and air routes with Muslim majority nations in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
    The Global Muslim Travel Index predicts the Muslim travel market will reach US$300 billion by 2026. But some argue that Hong Kong isn't doing enough compared with Singapore, Japan and Thailand.
    So what is Halal tourism? How can businesses be compliant? And what can we learn from other cities in the region?
    After 9:45, we speak with an aviation expert about Cathay’s newest routes and airport passenger figures which are at a post-pandemic high.

    Octopus JoyYou card discounts / Australia's "right to disconnect" law

    主持人:Jim Gould and Car Ha

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we're talking about a special promotion involving the personalised JoyYou Octopus card, aimed at encouraging activity for the elderly and boosting local spending.

    For a two-week period starting from Wednesday, card holders will receive an $8 reward for every $100 spent with participating businesses -- with a maximum rebate amount capped at $800 per user.
    Starting from last Sunday, residents aged 60 or over now need to use a JoyYou card in in order to benefit from $2 public transport concessionary fares. The change was introduced to tackle fraudulent
    use of anonymous cards by non-eligible travellers.
    So will this promotion encourage older people to go out and about more frequently? And will it help to boost consumption?
    After 9:45, we'll learn more about Australia's new "right to disconnect law", for employees when they're off duty. It's similar to laws in some parts of Europe and Latin America. But could such a concept ever take hold here?
