business exchanges. The fondness of Hong Kong people for travel produced some 16.5 million trips to China and some 6.5 million visits overseas in 1988. Culturally, Hong Kong matches the great capital cities of the world with a continuous supply of inter- national films, plays, concerts and other perfor- mances, culminating every year in two lavish and outstanding international arts festivals and one of the world's most comprehensive international film festivals.

The international influence on the more funda- mental and indigenous parts of Hong Kong's character is, inevitably, profound and extensive: this is not only because Hong Kong is a large international port open and exposed to all the ideas, inventions, fashions and trends that pass through it, but also because its people, with their rich cultural and educational background, are receptive to outside ideas, which they mould and adapt in a way peculiar to Hong Kong. Our main spoken and written language is certainly Chinese, but it is a form of Chinese that has freely integrated words, expressions and patterns from other languages. Our music, broadcasting, art, dress, cuisine, architecture and town-planning. unmistakable though they are as products of our city, all bear the marks of international influence.

Building for the Future

Practically all government policies are designed, one way or another, to make Hong Kong a better place in which to live, and in doing so they naturally encourage, directly or indirectly, greater international participation in Hong Kong. A number of current policies and initiatives, by Government and non- Government bodies, specifically promote Hong Kong's international importance in the economic field: these include developing Hong Kong's parti- cipation in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade as a separate customs territory; a rigorous pro- motion and defence of Hong Kong's free trade economy against impulses towards protectionism elsewhere in the world; and committed plans to im- proving Hong Kong's transport infrastructure and economic services, including the construction of a new airport, to be in operation by 1997, and the

Plans for the future airport and port facilities: the new airport will be able to handle 80 million passengers a year. About HKS12 billion (US$16.28 billion) will be spent on Hong Kong's future port and airport develop-

ment.
