    Tourism blueprint / Streamlined vehicle registration mechanism

    On Thursday’s programme, we’relooking into the latest tourism blueprint. The government on Monday said it wants to nurture and develop tourism by focusing on culture, sports, ecotourism and mega-events, in a move to bring at least HK$120 billion into the economy.

    Authorities aim to create hundreds of thousands of jobs in the next five years, while boosting the city’s appeal to travellers from the Middle East and ASEAN countries. There are also plans to encourage more people to take up jobs as tour guides, by strengthening cooperation with local universities.
    After 9:44, we learn more about the Transport Department’s streamlined vehicle licensing requirements.

    Halloween economy / Crowd control in Lan Kwai Fong / Planned law amendments on abandoned cars

    主持人:Jim Gould and Car Ha

    On Thursday’s Backchat, we’re talking about Halloween, as the city’s nightlife spots and tourists attractions are gearing up for the celebrations.

    From restaurants providing themed menus to costume shops competing to sell the most frightening outfits, Halloween has long been seen as a major revenue driver for businesses.
    Despite this year’s date falling on a weekday, authorities are expecting 25,000 revelers in Lan Kwai Fong alone, but questions remain as to how much people are ready to spend.
    Meanwhile, security is expected to be tight, and the police have installed 50 new CCTV cameras with crowd counting capabilities. Facial and car plate recognition functions will be added next year as part of a territory-wide upgrade of video surveillance systems.
    So how popular has Halloween become? Are this year’s celebrations attracting people from across the border? And is AI going to relieve some of the crowd control duties from the police?
    After 9:45, we’re talking about a planned change in the law to tackle the problem of unwanted vehicles being abandoned.
