In 2012 and the first eight months of 2013, Hong Kong tourism industry remained buoyant generally, achieving double growth in inbound tourists and tourists consumption. The mainland is still the main source of tourist growth in Hong Kong. "Individual visit" has been growing rapidly and becomes an important way for mainland residents to visit Hong Kong. The stable development of Hong Kong tourism is due to the two-wheel drive, namely, "endogenous motivation" and "external booster". "Endogenous power" comes from resources integration and policy adjustment, promotion and image positioning, comprehensive effect of large-scale projects promotion, service quality enhancement and other areas. "External booster" is mainly reflected in a series of policies and measures benefiting Hong Kong tourism from the central government. Hong Kong tourism is expected to remain a steady progress in the fourth quarter of 2013 and the whole 2014.
