Research Done Hong Kong on the Tourism Carrying Capacity

Résumé du document

Since the year 2012 Hong Kong could not always allow more visitors on several dimensions. It has been worrying ever since Hong Kong's tourist appeal has always been stronger than its capacity to hold more tourists. The four different dimensions that have always determined the tourism carrying capacity of Hong Kong include, economic dimension, Environmental and natural resource dimension and sociocultural dimension and lastly availability of transportation and infrastructural facilities and services (Zhang, Tingting, &Cihan, 67-68).

Extraits

[...] The other sectors of the economy will in turn not get enough support from the government (Zhang, Tingting, &Cihan, 68). The government took into consideration that Hong Kong is a mixed economy city and majoring only in one sector will create an imbalance that will greatly affect the city and China as a country. The city majors in several sectors like trading, logistics, professional and also production activities. There are very many industries in the city like steel industries and for all these departments of the economy to do well, they must receive a lot of support from the government through the taxpayer's money and other revenues that the government obtains from its citizens and other various sources.

[...] This will create a lot of pressure to major in training a lot of workers just to be in the tourism industries, and a lot of these workers would probably be working in other sectors of the city. At the end of the day what will happen is that there will be overdependence on tourism for employment and economic development because a lot of revenue will be obtained from the industry (Tolkach, 78). The overdependence to tourism for economic development and employment has adverse effects on the economy since it can lead to greater seasonal employment that would land in Hong Kong and the nation at large into a very big problem. [...]

[...] Conclusion In conclusion, it can be comfortably analyzed that Hong Kong has done proper research on the tourist-carrying capacity of the city. This is because based on the four selected dimensions of factors affecting carrying capacity, changes in the influx of tourists in the country have been made. Executive Officer Leung Chun-Ying has made several changes especially in regulating the number of tourists entering the city and this could be basically as a result of the research.
