SURVEY ON TRAVELLERS USING MACAU FERRY TERMINAL
Consideration will be given to conducting a survey to find out
how many people using the Hong Kong-Macau ferry wharf are from Kowloon
peninsula and from Hong Kong Island.
Revealing this in the Legislative Council today, the Acting
Financial Secretary, the Hon, D.J.C. Jones suggested that the survey
could be conducted by university students during their summer vacation.
The last such survey was held in 1966, when it appeared that
at that time about 56 percent of those travelling to and from Macau
started or ended their trips in Kowloon or the New Territories and
about 44 per cent on Hong Kong Island.
Mr. Jones said no up-to-date information on the movements of
Macau travellers was available as the large majority of all people using
the Macau ferry terminal travelled on re-entry permite and were not required
to fill in embarkation or disembarkation cards.
