Hong Kong Government announced the new ‘0+3’ arrangements for inbound travelers from overseas and Taiwan through Hong Kong International Airport, including the removal of mandatory hotel quarantine, effective from 26 September.
Dr. Pang Yiu-kai, Chairman of the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) welcomed the Government’s announcement of the new “0+3” arrangements from 26 September for inbound travelers from overseas and Taiwan through Hong Kong International Airport, including the removal of mandatory hotel quarantine.
“The new arrangements mark Hong Kong’s re-opening as a tourism gateway with significant international connections. This is expected to initially attract mainly business travelers, family visitors and returning Hong Kong residents. In addition, travelers are no longer required to take a PCR test before boarding flights to Hong Kong, and upon arrival, they can head directly to their home or chosen hotel to await the test results. The new arrangements will allow greater convenience and flexibility for travelers”, Dr. Pang Yiu-kai added.
Dr. Pang continued, “The application of the ‘Come2HK’ scheme to all Mainland and Macau visitors and the removal of quotas for the scheme will also facilitate Mainland travelers to visit Hong Kong, especially business travelers and family visitors.”
