Taiwanese Visitors to Hong Kong & China

I attach immigration statistics for the first quarter of this year.

You will see that the number of Taiwanese visiting Hong Kong registered a 42% increase over the same period last year and the number visiting China increased by 132%. If this trend continues there may well be over 1 million Taiwanese visiting Hong Kong this year. Anyone planning to visit Hong kong would be well advised to book hotel rooms early!
