    Changing spending habits among tourists / Leonard Cohen's "Book of Longing" adaptation

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about spending habits among mainland tourists.

    Immigration figures show that about 760,000 mainland visitors came to Hong Kong during the five-day Labour Day holiday, a 19% increase compared to last year. The city welcomed about 560 tour groups, with many attending the Tourism Board's HK$1 million fireworks display, which was part of the city's drive to attract tourists back into the SAR.
    But while visitor numbers saw an upward increase, some retailers and hotels noted a drop in sales, with younger tourists favouring historical spots over luxury malls, and some opting to spend the night in Shenzhen where room rates can be less than half of those in Hong Kong.
    Have mainland tourists become more frugal? We'll be talking to some leading industry figures.
    After 9:45, we learn more about a Hong Kong adaptation of late singer Leonard Cohen's "Book of Longing", which will be performed this Friday and Saturday in West Kowloon.

    San Tin IT hub / e-HKD digital currency pilot scheme

    主持人:Jim Gould and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we learn more about plans to establish a major technology hub as part of the Northern Metropolis development.

    Aspiring to become "Hong Kong's Silicon Valley", the 627 hectare San Tin Technopole, as it's called, could create at least 165,000 innovation and technology jobs on land the size of 17 Science Parks.

    The Development Bureau has said that besides public tendering, plots could be offered by means such as restricted tendering or direct land grants.

    Meanwhile, green groups have expressed concerns about the possible environmental impact of development in the area.

    How much of an impact would the new centre have in boosting R&D capabilities? Would relaxed tendering rules encourage more tech companies to apply?

    After 9.45 we'll look into the launch of the Hong Kong digital currency trial.

    Let us know what you think. You can leave a message here on our Facebook page, email us at backchat@rthk.hk, or give us a call on 23388266.
