Since the implementation of the Southbound Travel for Guangdong Vehicles allowing Guangdong-registered vehicles to enter Hong Kong in December last year, overall operations have been smooth, and the programme has become increasingly popular. The Transport Department said today (April 26) that as of the end of March this year, more than 5,000 applications had been approved, and over 3,500 trip bookings had been recorded, with about 90 percent of travellers staying in Hong Kong for one to two days.
The Transport Department noted that "Southbound Travel for Guangdong Vehicles" travellers tend to have higher spending power, bringing business opportunities to Hong Kong's tourism, retail, and catering sectors. As for the "Park & Fly Car Park" service at the Hong Kong International Airport boundary car park, since its launch on Nov. 15 last year, it has attracted over 7,500 user applications and approximately 3,000 vehicle bookings by the end of March, allowing users to simply "drop off the car and board the plane."
The Department indicated that the next phase, "Park & Visit," designed to deepen the local travel experience, is currently under preparation and will further expand the seamless car park-to-transit experience under the "self-drive plus public transport" model.
