| 06-Dec-2005 - Shenzhen Daily |
Hong Kong received a record 2.14 million visitors in October, up 6.4 percent from a year earlier, its tourism board said Wednesday.
The opening of the Hong Kong Disney theme park in mid-September was expected to help draw thousands of Chinese mainland tourists every day, and their number rose 3.3 percent to 1.12 million in October.
The highest rate of growth was by visitors from Australia and New Zealand, whose numbers swelled 21.9 percent to 58,358 visitors.
Europe, Africa and the Middle East supplied 205,177 visitors, up 17.7 percent from October 2004.
The Hong Kong Tourism Board said the previous record for monthly visitor numbers was reached in August this year, when 2.12 million people entered the city.
The cumulative number of visitor arrivals for the first 10 months of 2005 was up 7.5 percent to 19.1 million.
Hotel occupancy was 88 percent in October, down one percentage point from a year earlier because of a 6.2 percent increase in room supply during the previous 12 months. Enditem
