【Now新聞台】西貢東壩近來在假日吸引大批旅客，交通問題受到關注。文化體育及旅遊局表示，會考慮是否增設穿梭車輛或推出交通工具預約制，以疏導人流，亦會考慮設立資訊平台，提供不同景點的實時人流。 西貢萬宜水庫東壩近期成為不少旅客的熱門郊遊地點，政府在剛過去的五一黃金周加密來往北潭涌及東壩的9A小巴班次，文化體育及旅遊局局長羅淑佩說在立法會大會上提到，黃金周最高峰時約有3000名旅客到訪東壩，少於三月底高峰的4300人，運作大致暢順，未來會考慮如何限制東壩的遊人數量。文化體育及旅遊局局長羅淑佩：「這個考慮可能就並非是景點有一個預約制度去進入，因為畢竟我們那個是山徑，亦難去規管，但會否在預約交通工具方面可以動一些腦筋。」除了東壩，不少旅遊景點黃金周期間都大排長龍，有議員就建議設立平台，提供實時資訊。立法會議員(批發及零售界)邵家輝：「在大節日對不同景點有實時報道，令旅客做好分流，甚至香港市民其實都可以利用這系統，好好安排自己時間。」羅淑佩：「我都聽過不下一次這些建議，我們會考慮如何做，當然不是政府一方面的努力就可以，因為有時景點裡景點的人流數字，我們都需要有他們的支持才能做到，在郊野公園，我們 Source link

剛過去的內地五一長假，5日共有約110萬人次旅客訪港，內地旅客佔約92萬人次，包括超過900個內地團約3.3萬人次，超出業界預期。旅遊業議會總幹事楊淑芬表示，五一黃金周整體旅客數字已回復至疫情前的約九成，近乎全面復蘇，旅行團方面有三分二是過夜客，大部分逗留一晚，約三分一則是即日來回。 楊淑芬在本台節目《千禧年代》形容，內地團數量勝預期是「開心的落差」，相信是受惠啟德體育園落成、大熊貓龍鳳胎可以在黃金周迎接旅客，另外天氣理想、五一長假與佛誕假期相連，亦令吸引力大增。 黃金周期間一度發生港鐵落馬洲站因網絡問題，旅客未能啟用車票二維碼，楊淑芬說情況不理想，相信當局會再檢討，優化網絡。她說旅客有心理準備在黃金周排隊的時間要長一點，認為情況有序，沒特別影響旅客的體驗。 楊淑芬指出，多了旅客來港行山，本地生態遊有優化空間，可以討論在某些地方實施配額制度，或以旅行團模式進出，管理人流。以西貢萬宜水庫東壩為例，過去旅行團或旅遊巴配額較少，她認為可以按時段增加，達致分流。 Source link
