According to the latest data of the Immigration Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative region Government (Immigration Department), on the first day of the International Labour Day holiday, Hong Kong ushered in a peak of more than 800000 passengers, setting a new high in recent years. This boom not only reflects the mainland people's enthusiasm for Hong Kong tourism, but also shows the unique charm of Hong Kong as an international tourist and shopping destination. During the period from April 30 to May 5, 5.9 million passengers are expected to enter and leave Hong Kong through Hong Kong's sea, land and air control points, of which 800000 are from the mainland. This not only brings strong passenger flow power to Hong Kong's tourism industry, but also brings considerable economic benefits to the related industrial chain. It is particularly noteworthy that the period from April 30 to May 5 is expected to be the peak of entry and exit, and the peak may be reached on May 1. This forecast is based on a scientific analysis of passenger flow, and also reflects the determination and measures of the Hong Kong SAR Government to deal with the peak of passenger flow during the peak tourist season. During the May Day holiday, Hong Kong not only successfully attracted a large number of mainland tourists, but also demonstrated its unique advantages as a tourist and shopping destination.
