CHANG

by S. W. Clark

With the advent of the Hongkong Tourist Association comes the realisation that Tourism is the Colony's second highest carnor.

Even so, Hongkong has barely scratched the vast potential of this young and vigorous industry. While the USA still provides by far the largest number of tourists, other areas such as South Africa, Australia and Canada are stendily increasing their quota. I take no account of certain heavy tourist producing areas in the Far East which are artificial in struc- ture and which will overnight prove arid instead of Insh. Steady recurrent tourist traffic stems from countries whose economies are sound and whose per capita wealth is sufficiently high to place world travel within the reach of a representative propor- tion of their population.

CHAOTIC CONDITION

Forecasting on this basis we must take note that, as yet, of the tourist traille originating in the United States alone only 3% comes to the Pacific. It is not difficult to imagine the chaotic condition that could prevail in Hongkong if this percentage were doubled or tripled at short notice, for example within one or two years. In face of this, it cannot be argued that Hongkong is capable of coping with a normal tourist traffic, such as is found in the Caribbean, Europe or Mexico. Yet the Colony. would welcome a double or triple share of such lucrative trade which benefits everyone from bank to butcher and shop to shoe-binck.

Nobody operates a coffee shop with lots of good coffee and only six cups in which to serve it, That allegory sums up the critical accommodation shortage in Hongkong today. First and foremost more good hotels are urgently needed-hotels that we are proud to talk about--hotels fit to house the discerning tourist when he gets here. Tourists and travellers who get as far afield as Hongkong are not greenhorns in the matter of hostelries and poor reputation in this field will take years to live down.

PROTECTION NEEDED

Having attracted the tourist here, We must protect him against charlatans and malefactors. Licensed guides of a high standard must be available in sufficient strength to meet the demand. This

Again to protect torist, points of arrival and departure such as Birport and docks should be out of bounds to hot possession of travel tickets or passes. Pralal loitering should not be tolerated. Informon Bosks at strategic points are already planned, trontelligent answers be given to simple cairle and where free or moderately priced cop of the Association's official booklet can be proffel. Most questions likely to be asked by tourists aid probably be answered already in the book ad the pertinent page reference could be insted by the Information clerk on duty.

Brondby then, pilted he knows he is welcome, has a room ILL agi hotel and is not molested on landing, the aver tourist will be happy to come to Hongkong iw tell his friends to come, producing a chain raionjin first-class boost.

OVERSES PUBLICITY

If we are reallaiming at a rapid and steep increase in tourist let the Colony, the next step -after putting of house in order locally-is overseas publicity advertising, distribution of attractive literatunnd personal contact on site by a travelling direct: This takes money. Yet it would be money w spent, meriting far greater priority than J aborate and unnecessarily expensive organisan here at base,
