A total of 3.59 million people visited Hong Kong in August this year, 39% down from the same time in 2018.

Hong Kong’s tourism industry has taken its biggest beating in more than a decade as arrivals in August plummeted nearly 40 per cent year on year amid the ongoing political turmoil.

The drop in tourist footfall in August is the biggest year-on-year monthly decline for Hong Kong since 2003, when an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome swept the city – and followed an almost 31 per cent drop compared with July. Some 40 jurisdictions from all over the world have issued travel alerts for those heading to Hong Kong.
