Hong Kong seeks to turn To Kwa Wan waterfront into tourism hotspot channelling Sydney's Darling Harbour
Hong Kong's urban redevelopment body is looking into redeveloping a Victoria Harbour waterfront area in eastern Kowloon into a tourism cove with restaurants and outdoor music venues. In a blog post on Sunday, the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) managing director, Wai Chi-sing, said that the authority had begun a study on the possibility of developing To Kwa Wan into a world-class harbourfront development, which he dubbed the 'Victoria Cove Area.' Wai said the development would be similar to Sydney's Darling Harbour, formerly an industrial harbour that was redeveloped in the 1980s. It would also draw inspiration from the Aker Brygge promenade in Oslo, a former shipyard, he added. The official said that the URA's study, which began in March, covered an 800-hectare area of land and water, including parts of To Kwa Wan, Kowloon Bay, and Kai Tak – the site of a flagship sports park and proposed major commercial, tourism, and residential developments. The study suggested that some idle barges on the To Kwa Wan waterfront could be converted into restaurants, concert stages, swimming pools, or floating beaches, while two breakwaters in the area could host art installations. The neighbouring waters off the Kai Tak Sports Park, with their calm currents, would be suitable for water sports such as rowing or canoeing, or for floating platforms that could be used as performance stages. The sports park is touted by the government as a state-of-the-art venue for large-scale events in a bid to boost tourism amid the city's slow recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. It hosted the Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament in March and sold-out concerts by British band Coldplay last month. Wai added that proposals for the waterfront development would have to comply with regulatory and licensing regimes, and would require technical impact assessments and consultations with stakeholders such as the government and barge operators. Watersports should not interfere with shipping routes, and restaurants must have the appropriate licenses, he said. A consultant has begun discussions with various government departments and is expected to submit a preliminary report and feasibility study to the URA in the second half of the year. Meanwhile, recent legislative amendments loosening rules for creating new land through reclamation could make the development process easier, Wai said. On May 7, the Legislative Council passed a law making it easier for the government to create new land through reclamation in Victoria Harbour – despite objections from environmental activists. The Development Bureau said it would allow fast-tracking smaller reclamation works measuring 0.8 hectares or less and would 'enhance harbourfront areas for public enjoyment.'

Tariff tensions to soften cargo demand: Cathay
Tariff tensions to soften cargo demand: Cathay Cathay Pacific says it is taking proactive steps to be in the best possible position in facing external challenges. Photo: RTHK Cathay Pacific on Wednesday said it expects air cargo demand between the mainland and the US to "soften" in the coming months due to tariff tensions as well as the axing of the de minimis rule. The comments came as the world's two largest economies remain in a stand-off over tariff disputes, although US President Donald Trump indicated that the levies on China will not remain at 145 percent. Speaking in a statement, the carrier noted that its cargo business saw strong growth last month. However, it cautioned that the latest developments on trade tariffs are creating uncertainties and might cause disruptions. 'We expect a softening of general air cargo demand between the Chinese mainland and the United States due to the ongoing tariff situation and de minimis rule changes from early May," said Lavinia Lau, the group's chief customer and commercial officer. "We are taking proactive steps to put ourselves in the best possible position in facing and mitigating these external forces as we remain aligned, agile and responsive in our approach," Lau added. Following the axing of the de minimis rule, small parcels valued under US$800 shipped from the SAR and the mainland that were earlier exempted from American import taxes, will be subject to duties from May 2. Her remarks came as Cathay reported that its cargo transport grew by 10.6 percent year on year to 148,807 tonnes in March, while passenger numbers jumped 19.8 percent year on year to 2.25 million. Lau noted that although March marked a "quieter month" for the group's travel business due to the absence of long-weekend holidays in the SAR, demand for its "premium cabins" remained robust, thanks to various mega-events and exhibitions in the city, including Art Basel. 'The Hong Kong Sevens also generated strong inbound demand to our home city, especially on many of our long-haul routes," Lau added.

Hong Kong welcomes 12.2 million visitors in first quarter, up 9% year on year
Hong Kong welcomed 12.2 million visitors in the first quarter of the year, a 9 per cent increase over the same period in 2024, due largely to a spate of mega-events in March, the Tourism Board said on Monday. Advertisement Last month alone, the number of arrivals jumped 12 per cent year on year to 3.82 million amid the city's first 'Super March' campaign, which included events such as the pop culture showcase ComplexCon, the Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament, art festivals Art Basel and Art Central, and the LIV Golf Hong Kong competition. Of the 12.2 million arrivals in the first quarter, 9.25 million or 75.8 per cent visited from mainland China, a 6 per cent year-on-year rise. The rest, coming from non-mainland short- and long-haul places of origin, also increased by 18 per cent. The board on Monday reported encouraging growth in visitor numbers from non-mainland markets, with short-haul ones such as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan each growing significantly year on year by 30 per cent or more. In long-haul markets, double-digit year-on-year growth was recorded for both the United States and Canada, while Australia registered the highest increase at 32 per cent, the board added.
