50 million visitors targeted by 2006
Having invested more than US$4 billion over the past five years in a series of new tourist attractions including the region's first Disneyland, Hong Kong is working to ensure the investments pay off in terms of more visitors.
Buoyed by the recent trend, Hong Kong tourism officials recently revised upward the number of targeted arrivals for this year to 23.41 million from 22.9 million, with forecast tourism expenditures of HK$ 97.8 billion.
