【Now新聞台】五一黃金周首兩天逾26萬旅客訪港，較去年多近三成，內地客佔整體訪港旅客八成。文化體育及旅遊局局長羅淑佩表示，留意到不少旅客到東壩郊遊，運輸署已增加小巴班次。 五一黃金周截至星期五，訪港旅客人次達26.5萬，比去年增長27%；當中包括約22.2萬人次內地旅客，增長22%，海外旅客則約有4.3萬人次。西貢萬宜水庫東壩是其中一個熱門景點，吸引不少旅客到訪。為疏導旅客，運輸署與小巴公司協調加開往來北潭涌至東壩的班次。文化體育及旅遊局局長羅淑佩：「平時可能是四輛車運作，今次黃金周期間，我們增加到30班小巴，這亦解決了很多問題。至於配套方面，我想簡單配套我們一定可以做得更多更好，但至於大規模，你說餐飲或需要有很大規模建設，令我們有更多旅客去，這個真的要大家商量探討。」有議員到場視察後，建議仿效內地採用環保式電動觀光車。立法會議員(新界東南)李世榮：「希望可以在西壩到東壩較狹窄的路段，使用觀光的高爾夫球車，可以令市民更容易前往東壩，亦可以起環保、綠色的作用，相信坐這些車進入東壩，一來不會塞車，二來旅客的體驗感相信會大大提高。」李世榮希望政府想辦法，將到訪西貢東壩的旅客人流變現金流，帶 Source link
