Tourism and retail performance / LinkedIn privacy concerns
2024-10-07
On Monday’s Backchat, we’re talking about the city’s economic performance during Golden Week.
Tourism and catering sector representatives said that business during the National Holiday holiday was better than expected, with most hotels reporting an occupancy rate of 90 percent. Hotel rates this time were on average 10 percent lower compared to last year, a strategy analysts say has paid off.
Meanwhile, restaurant revenue figures are set to exceed HK$300 million, up from last week’s forecast of HK$280 million.
Is the tourism sector on track to reaching pre-COVID levels?
After 9:45, we speak to a lawmaker on privacy concerns over LinkedIn’s policy updates which will allow the platform to collect user data to train artificial intelligence models.
