本屆政府採取多項措施振興旅遊業，文化體育及旅遊局局長羅淑佩接受本台《上任三周年》專訪時表示，相信今年訪港旅客數字與年初預算的4900萬相當接近。相對於2018年疫情前高峰約6500萬人次，她相信香港仍然有空間接待更多旅客，當局正研究推出實時景點地圖，並設立預告機制，於網上通知旅客，希望將人潮分流。 羅淑佩表示，有關機制可以考慮就某個景點，推出紅色或綠色預告，讓旅客能做到錯峰出行，期間能夠避開人潮高峰，旅客人流就會管理得更好。另外，當局會持續評估承載力或景點的吸引力，根據政府與旅發局數字，以及鼓勵業界包括零售業等，提供旅客數據與喜好，再透過大數據及人工智能作出分析，協助當局制定旅遊策略。 政府就進一步善用啟德郵輪碼頭，上月邀請市場提交意向書，期望藉嶄新的活動，為碼頭帶來更多人流。羅淑佩表示，為吸引好的建議，願意在租金方面彈性處理。甚至可以考慮寬免租金，待有盈利時分成，亦是其中一種做法。 啟德郵輪碼頭附近有啟德體育園及青年驛站，羅淑佩認為3個項目令啟德開始形成一個小社區及經濟生態，加上鯉魚門登岸設施完工，可以讓較大的船隻上落客，令整個東九龍在休閒娛樂和水路交通有新思維，郵輪碼頭和啟德體育園 Source link
