The fireworks display
is considered a magnet for tourists, especially from across the border.
“During the
recent Lunar New Year holiday, Hong Kong welcomed a total of 1.43 million
visitors, of which approximately 1.255 million were from mainland China,
surpassing the numbers from 2018,” a report in the Standard said.

All these nightly
spectacles are being lined up in the upcoming government budget before the
Legislative Council, which will allocate funding for different projects to
different government agencies, the report said.
The nightly extravaganza is expected to be assigned to the Hong Kong Tourism Board.

The Tourism Board
is also proposed to organize a number of supportive measures such as city walks
and night runs, which will allow tourists to pursue in-depth travel experiences
in the city, the report said.
Also envisioned
in the new budget are more dining and entertainment elements along the city’s
waterfront – such as food stalls and game booths on esplanades that have been
expanded and lengthened over the last two years -- with the Development Bureau
in charge.
