The Spring Festival period saw Hong Kong and Macau emerge as beacons of tourism recovery. Hong Kong attracted over 1.25 million mainland Chinese visitors, buoyed by events like the Tsim Sha Tsui Flower Float Parade and Victoria Harbour Fireworks Display, which alone spurred an 80,000 visitor increase. Meanwhile, Macau's daily visitor numbers neared pre-pandemic levels, with a 26 percent rise in mainland Chinese tourists compared to 2018.
