(2) Not including real estate development.

(3) A service domain differs from a service industry in that a domain comprises those parts of economic activities straddling different industries but somehow related to a common purpose. Tourism is a good example. It includes all activities of travel agents; and some (those involving visitors as customers) but not all of the activities of restaurants, retailers and transport operators.

(4) Part of the data come from the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
