As the Labor Day holiday of the Chinese mainland approaches, it is expected that 840,000 mainland visitors will travel to Hong Kong during this period, with various units in the city actively preparing to welcome visitors.



This year's Labor Day holiday runs for five consecutive days, from May 1 to May 5, during which Hong Kong is expected to become even busier than usual.



China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government on Friday held a meeting of the interdepartmental working group on festival arrangements to coordinate and steer the preparatory work of various government departments for welcoming visitors to Hong Kong during the Labor Day holiday.



The HKSAR government estimated a notable increase in visitor arrivals during the Labor Day holiday and will make good preparations for receiving visitors.



It will maintain close coordination with relevant organizations and the tourism sector to ensure effective crowd management, information dissemination, arrangements of public transportation and boundary control points. Measures are ready to address various kinds of emergencies promptly.
