Hotel, Catering and Tourism

Hotel, Catering and Tourism cover accommodation services; food and beverage services; travel agency and reservation services; and convention and exhibition services. The tourism industry continues to be a major pillar industry accounting for around 5% of Hong Kong’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and employing more than 270,000 people in a wide spectrum of sectors including hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, airlines, theme parks and other tourism destinations. The Government has invested significantly on new attractions in recent years with the aim to enhance the drawing power of Hong Kong and to sustain the long-term development of the industry. In complementing the development of the tourism industry, the Government has been strategically supporting the hotel sector in providing quality accommodation service to business and leisure arrivals. As such, it is discernable that there is a positive outlook of the tourism, catering and hotel industries and the career prospects for new entrants are highly promising.
