Hong Kong wants more smiles for tourists but prices and Shenzhen are bigger issues, experts warn

Hong Kong is asking service workers to be more courteous and smile in a bid to win back tourists. But high prices and competition from an ascending Shenzhen are bigger issues, experts say. 

Long revered for its luxury shopping, restaurants and nightlife, the glitzy financial hub has yet to see visitor numbers recover to levels seen prior to years of disruptions from social unrest and the Covid-19 pandemic.

In response, the Hong Kong government launched a campaign – titled “Let’s Go the Extra Mile” – encouraging frontline staff and members of the public to demonstrate good hospitality and “reinforce Hong Kong’s brand as the best tourism destination.”

Speaking at a press conference last week, Chief Executive John Lee urged residents to be more courteous, to smile more and to “go the extra mile to promote Hong Kong’s hospitality.”

The initiative comes after data showed 24 million total visitor arrivals in the first four months of the year, still at only 60% of the level from the same period in 2019. 

Though those numbers marked a significant increase from the previous year, experts warn that full recovery faces greater barriers than grumpy Hong Kongers.

Strong dollar, high prices

“One of the biggest problems for the city is simply that we’re expensive,” said Allan Zeman, chairman of Lan Kwai Fong Group, the major property owner and developer in Hong Kong’s iconic Lan Kwai Fong nightlife district.

Hong Kong’s currency is pegged to the U.S. dollar, which has helped the city’s status as an international financial center. However, this can also make it pricey compared to many other Asian economies, especially now amid high interest rates and a strong U.S. dollar.

“Tourists are finding that other places like Shenzhen and Japan are very, very cheap in comparison,” said Zeman, who also acts as an advisor to the Hong Kong government.

This dynamic is especially true for mainland Chinese travelers — with the Chinese yuan depreciating significantly against the U.S. and Hong Kong dollars in recent months. 

Hong Kong plans to give away half a million air tickets to boost tourism

At the same time, Zeman said mainlanders are making up a larger share of tourists in the city as other nationalities have been slower to return. He said this poses a problem for local businesses as mainlanders tend to spend less due to travel preferences, shorter stays and tighter budgets amid economic troubles at home.

While Hong Kong’s Culture, Sports, and Tourism Bureau projects the number of tourists to increase this year, it estimated per capita expenditure by overnight visitors to drop to 5,800 Hong Kong dollars ($742.64), down from last year’s HK$6,939, according to figures released in the 2024 budget.

LKF, a popular destination among tourists, was particularly hard hit when Hong Kong’s borders were closed during the pandemic.

While Zeman says many of the neighborhood’s businesses have recovered strongly, there are currently some unused spaces — once a rare occurrence during pre-pandemic times. 

Hong Kongers leave for bargains

Conversely, locals are increasingly taking trips to the neighboring mainland city of Shenzhen, according to economist Simon Lee Siu-Po, an honorary fellow at the Asia-Pacific Institute of Business at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

“Both have become equal problems for Hong Kong,” he said. 

While the city’s borders were closed during the pandemic, nearby Shenzhen continued to develop into a top-tier Chinese city, Lee said. And newly built high-speed rails and a mega cross-sea bridge have made that journey more convenient than ever.  

Shenzhen offers a wide range of food, entertainment and shopping options that can now compete with Hong Kong, said Lee, adding that prices for goods and services in the city are sometimes up to two or three times cheaper.

This dynamic explains why thousands of Hong Kongers flocked to the Shenzhen border for the Easter holiday in late March, leaving the financial hub’s restaurants, bars and shopping centers empty, according to local media.

HKEX says high interest rates, geopolitics are impacting market valuations

For the entire month of March, the city of 7.3 million people saw 9.3 million residents depart from its passenger traffic control points. Government data shows this was the single-highest monthly number of departures since at least 1997 when the city was handed over from British rule to Chinese sovereignty.

Meanwhile, only about 3.4 million visitors entered the city that same month.

These trends have taken their toll on Hong Kong businesses, with retail sales continuing to fall as local media reports on rapid rates of restaurant closures.

According to a recent survey conducted by the Hong Kong Small and Medium Enterprises Association, 70% of local small and medium-sized firms in the city reported a decline in business performance compared to pre-pandemic levels. 

In addition to campaigns like “Let’s Go The Extra Mile,” Hong Kong authorities have also set aside HK$1.09 billion for citywide events like firework shows to boost tourism and spending.

While the funds will help, combating high prices and competition from Shenzhen will require much more drastic efforts, said Lee and LKF’s Zeman.

Weber

Weber’s Spirit II E-210 is a compact, no-frills gas grill that gets the job done — and then some. With two stainless steel burners, it can carve out hot and cold zones for more targeted results (i.e., less wait time and more consistency). The grill works with a 20-pound propane tank and is easy to set up, plus it comes with a two-year warranty.

$112 at Lowe’s

Weber

This extra-large, splurgeworthy gas grill from Weber has enough cooking surface space for larger parties — there’s even a second layer of cooking area that acts as a warming rack with indirect heat for roasts and more. Among its bells and whistles are an extra burner for simmering sauces, a searing station and an app-connected thermometer that monitors food from start to finish.

$1,099 at Weber

Char-Broil

When it comes to scoring a great gas grill on a budget, Char-Broil’s Performance Series 4-Burner is the one to beat, with a huge grilling surface — 435 square inches, with an additional 130 square inches of secondary cooking space — for serving up a sizable feast (includes a five-year burner warranty).

$259 at Char-Broil

Blackstone

If you’re looking to invest in a flat-top grill, Blackstone’s are some of the biggest in the game. And this popular model offers a 756-square-inch grilling space and two variable cooking zones for whipping up breakfast, lunch and dinner in no time. 

$297 at Walmart

Weber

This flat-top from Weber is another common pick among grill masters for its fast, even heat distribution reaching over 500°F. Sear your burgers, sausages and the occasional salmon to perfection with the flip of a wrist (it doubles as a slick omelet station for hearty brunches and overnight crews).

$579 at Amazon

Pit Boss

Want a serious smoker sans the sticker shock? Consider this compact wood pellet grill and smoker from Pit Boss. It’s constructed of durable stainless steel with a 465-square-inch cooking surface — large enough for 20 burgers — and a 5-pound hopper capacity.

$350 at Amazon

This roomy model has over 1,500 five-star ratings on Amazon and features an ultraprecise temperature controller that allows for 15-degree adjustments so your meats come out just right. Plus, the bronze finish adds a certain polish to any backyard or patio.

$700 at Amazon

Recteq

Recteq’s Flagship 1100 Wood Pellet Grill is another heavy-duty, stainless steel smoker with a hearty following, described by the brand and many of its enthusiasts as “the definition of gold standard in pellet grilling.” When factoring in the second shelf, you’re looking at a 1,100-square-inch grilling surface — the largest in this category — which can be used to bake, sear, smoke, grill, dehydrate and more. 

$1,104 at Amazon

Char-Broil

This small but mighty number from Char-Broil turns a basic patio into a backyard burger bistro — just plug it in and you’re good to go. As reinforced by fans of the grill (it has over 2,000 on Amazon alone), the porcelain-coated cooking grates also stand up to rust and other signs of wear over time.

$199 at Lowe’s

Weber

Weber’s top-rated, portable electric grill is a great option for those looking for the ease of electric in a compact, table- and counter-friendly frame.

$299 at Lowe’s

Hamilton Beach

Looking to plug in at a low price tag? Check out this versatile pick from Hamilton Beach, which goes on triple duty as a full grill, full griddle or grill-griddle hybrid in one. Just switch up the aluminum plates — there’s enough room to serve eight — according to the menu and occasion. 

$70 at HSN

Weber

It just doesn’t get any more classic than this Weber standby. Backed by over 8,000 five-star ratings, the portable (and dare we say adorable?) grill has a small, campsite- and patio-friendly design and boasts wheels for easy maneuvering. A lid hook keeps the cover from blowing or rolling away.

$139 at Amazon

Weber

Prepare up to 13 burgers at a time, then let the one-touch cleaning system on this sleek charcoal grill from Weber handle all the dirty work. The cooking grate is hinged and there’s a built-in lid thermometer, plus a removable backlit LCD cook timer, for added convenience.

$499 at Amazon

BakerStone

This trattoria-worthy oven reaches a sizzling 800°F and can bake up pizzas to perfection in a matter of minutes (less than two, to be exact). Consider expanding your outdoor offerings with the addition of a BakerStone cooking grate or griddle.

$340 at Amazon

Roccbox

For an OG pizza oven with a retro yet somehow also futuristic feel, we — and more than 1,500 raving reviewers — can’t get enough of this high-powered hub from Gozney. Described by the brand as “the pizza oven that started a revolution,” the gas-fueled contraption reaches a temperature of 950°F and cooks up a crispy, bubbly pie in 60 seconds flat. 

$499 at Amazon

Ooni

Really want to treat yourself? Consider the Ooni Karu 16, a popular choice among backyard pizzaiolos for its cutting-edge design (Ooni’s most innovative to date), durability (encased in a carbon steel shell) and ability to pack some serious heat (up to 950°F).

$799 at Amazon

Intended use: With so many options, you’ll want to zero in on a grill that’s practical for your space and cooking taste. “There are so many choices in grills today, it’s easy to get drawn in by some fancy feature that you’ll never need,” notes world barbecue champion Melissa Cookston, owner of Memphis BBQ Co. “Are you cooking mainly burgers, steaks and hot dogs, or do you want more versatility? Would you prefer gas or charcoal? Are you cooking just for the immediate family?”

Type of fuel: If you’re planning to use your grill for regular, weeknight cooking, Fox advises going for a gas grill that connects to a propane tank and can be ready to go in five to 10 minutes. If you dream of a grill that doubles as a smoker, often requiring wood, a ceramic grill is a great option — but know that it’ll take 45 minutes to an hour to heat up (not great on a weeknight), says Jonathan Fox of Atlanta’s Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q. Charcoal grills fall somewhere in the middle for heat-up time and can add a unique smoky flavor to veggies and meats.

Experience level: Before you go out and buy the most expensive option with all the bells and whistles, get real about your skill set in the kitchen, er, backyard. Says Fox: “What is your skill set on a grill: novice, hold-your-own or the next great meat influencer? These are some great questions to ask.”

Price point: You don’t have to break the bank to make a great meal on the grill. But price will likely be a major factor as you shop. With that in mind, Fox says a higher price tag isn’t always better or necessary, but more expensive grills do tend to last longer.

Propane and charcoal differ primarily in their method of combustion. Propane provides consistent heat and is easy to ignite, while charcoal creates a smokier flavor and reaches higher cooking temperatures. Keep in mind that charcoal grills require much more prep and cleanup time.

Pellet grills burn wood pellets (essentially pieces of compressed hardwood). Wood pellets are typically moved from a hopper to a fire pot (via an auger) — where they’re then ignited — and typically rely on a precise system that regulates their heat output for a consistent cooking experience and a natural woodsmoke taste.

It all depends! Griddles and grills serve different purposes, so you’ll want to figure out which types of foods you plan to cook primarily. Griddles are ideal for pancakes and eggs given their flat surface, while grills lend a smoky flavor — and those signature grill marks — that a griddle can’t achieve.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour shows trigger earthquake readings in Scotland; estimated $98 million economic boost

Taylor Swift performs at Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium on June 07, 2024 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Swift’s Eras World Tour plays 15 dates across Scotland, Wales and England in June and August.

Taylor Swift’s three nights of sold-out concerts in Edinburgh, Scotland, triggered earthquake readings up to nearly four miles from the show venue, according to the British Geological Survey, the country’s national earthquake monitoring agency.

And the financial boost to both the city and the entire country is expected to be seismic, too, with Swift’s Eras Tour set to add an estimated £1 billion ($1.27 billion) to the British economy, according to research from U.K. bank Barclays.

Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium saw record-breaking attendance over the concert weekend as the American megastar serenaded glitter-clad fans for roughly 3½ hours each night on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

“The activity was mainly generated by fans dancing in time to the music and reached its peak at 160 beats per minute (bpm) during ‘…Ready For It?’, where the crowd was transmitting approximately 80 kW of power,” BGS wrote in a report, adding that that was “equivalent to around 10-16 car batteries.”

BGS uses advanced scientific instruments delicate enough to identify even the slightest seismic activity from miles away; while it detected the stadium’s vibrations, they were “unlikely to have been felt by anyone other that those in the immediate vicinity,” the agency wrote.

Swift’s songs “Ready For It?” “Cruel Summer” and “Champagne Problems” generated the most significant seismic activity each night, it said. Even with Scotland’s chilly temperatures and occasional bursts of rain, fans appeared determined to tolerate it and shake it off in the stands.

Record attendance

Friday’s concert, the very first night of Swift’s Edinburgh leg with roughly 73,000 people in attendance, broke a record as the most highly attended concert in Scottish history — and each subsequent night then broke the previous night’s record, with a final all-time high attendance for Scotland recorded on Sunday.

“It’s been shockingly amazing in Edinburgh because every night I got to go on stage and they pulled me aside and said, ‘You know this crowd broke the all-time stadium attendance record for all of Scotland for all of time’,” Swift told fans from the stage Sunday.

“Thank you, Edinburgh! That’s absolutely the wildest way to welcome a lass to your city.”

City officials knew all too well Swift’s reputation for boosting local economies; when tens of thousands of tourists streamed into the city for the concert weekend, local authorities and businesses were ready for it.

Edinburgh set up an official online Taylor Swift Fan Hub and advertised a curated “Taylored Taste Trail” involving more than 40 local businesses offering Swift-themed cocktails, pastries, deals and activities to capitalize on the international visitor gold rush.

“These sell-out shows brought huge and wide-ranging benefits to the city — reflected both in terms of the estimated up to £77m ($98 million) it contributed to the local economy, but also as a further boost to our global reputation as a great place to live, work and visit,” Edinburgh City Council Leader Cammy Day wrote in a post on the city’s official government website Wednesday.

“I’d also like to pay tribute to the hundreds of thousands of Swifties for their behaviour which, by all accounts, was exemplary,” Day added.

Swift’s Eras Tour spans 22 countries and 152 dates over 21 months, and has already shattered records as the highest-grossing concert tour of all time, surpassing $1 billion in revenue in its first eight months. For reference, the world’s second-highest grossing show, Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, accumulated $939 million over five years.

The American singer-songwriter has a total of fifteen shows planned in the U.K. including her three performances in Scotland, with three nights in Liverpool, England, one in Cardiff, Wales, and eight shows at London’s Wembley Stadium across June and August.

Correction: The BGS wrote in a report that the power from the crowd was “equivalent to around 10-16 car batteries.” An earlier version had an inaccurate description previously provided by the agency.

Barolo and Barbaresco inaugurate the wine tourism season

The Langhe area opens the wine tourism season, offering superb wines and magnificent landscapes

MILAN, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Data collected from a study by Divinea indicate that 43.8% of those who booked a wine cellar experience in Italy in 2023 are 25 to 34 years old, and the number of cellars open for visits on Saturday has risen to 78.1%. While this phenomenon varies greatly from one wine producing land to another, once more the Langhe have proven themselves to be a highly attractive area.

A new phenomenon: the de-seasonalisation of wine tourism

Two factors encourage visits to cellars during the entire year. Milder autumn and winter temperatures on the one hand, and the rising number of cellars that have developed targeted seasonal offerings on the other.

A unique land

The Langhe are in southern Piedmont. The name, of Celtic origin, means “strips of land” and refers to the elongated hills, often very steep-sided, which run parallel to each other, forming numerous narrow and steep valleys. The Langhe area is one of the most generous regions in the world in terms of the quality and variety of its wine production.

The roots of these great wines stem from the singular geographic position, suitable climate and rich substrate, which distinguish these hill areas, making them an environment rich in biodiversity.

Uniqueness and exceptionalness have meant that over the years the Langhe have become an important tourist and wine tourism destination, responding effectively to a demand that has progressively surfaced in the general public, in Italy and beyond.

The Barolo Barbaresco in numbers

The Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Dogliani includes 579 member wineries to date, 10 thousand hectares of protected denomination vine fields, which break down as follows: Barolo 2,258 hectares; Barbaresco 859; Dogliani 766; Diano d’Alba 204; Barbera d’Alba 1,734; Nebbiolo d’Alba 1174; Dolcetto d’Alba 934; Langhe 2,620 hectares.

With 66 million bottles of wine produced, it boasts 9 protected denominations (Barolo, Barbaresco, Dogliani, Dolcetto di Diano d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba, Langhe, Dolcetto d’Alba, Nebbiolo d’Alba, Verduno Pelaverga).

Barolo & Barbaresco World Opening is part of the European campaign “Top Tales: a piece of Europe on your table,” a project funded by the European Union and promoted by the DOCG Barolo and Barbaresco, Fontina PDO Valle d’Aosta, and Riso di Baraggia Biellese e Vercellese PDO.

GANGNAM glow Day Shield Perfect Sunscreen SPF 50 has been driving sales since its launch in April, increasing GANGNAM glow’s overall North American Amazon sales by 236% in just one month.

This product delivers radiance care using a formula that contains high-potency skincare ingredients that provide powerful UV protection, as well as protection from harmful environmental factors.

It’s gotten great reviews from consumers for its fresh application, glowy finish, and natural tone correction.

GANGNAM glow is a Korean beauty brand inspired by the latest skincare technologies from Gangnam, the beauty mecca of Korea, that wants to provide high-efficacy K-Skincare solutions to customers around the world.

In addition to proven high-efficacy ingredients such as vitamin C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, they also incorporate ingredients that are currently trending in the Korean beauty market, such as PDRN, to develop a lineup of products that can help a variety of skin concerns.

All of GANGNAM glow’s formulas are researched and developed in their beauty laboratory, which was founded 77 years ago, and undergo numerous human clinical trials to ensure definite benefits.

GANGNAM glow’s flagship product is the Vitamin C Serum, a formula containing over 99% pure vitamin C to provide superior antioxidant, radiance, and skin-firming benefits.

Based on skin data from 18,000 people, the product reduces irritation, a drawback of pure vitamin C, while enhancing the unique benefits of vitamin C, including radiance enhancement and antioxidant protection.

This product has proven 125-hour antioxidant protection, providing skin protection against free radicals caused by summer sun exposure. The antioxidant benefits of the Vitamin C Serum, especially when combined with the defense against UV and environmental aggressors provided by Day Shield Perfect Sunscreen, provide powerful protection.

GANGNAM glow is expanding its skincare lineup with new products to capitalize on the success of its Vitamin C Serum.

To provide professional-grade skincare solutions tailored to each skin concern, the company has launched a range of products, from toners to creams, that maximize the potential of its high-performance ingredients.

Starting with a toner that contains eight multi-peptides to boost skincare to the next level, the lineup includes niacinamide serum, hyaluronic acid serum, and other products that can be used according to different types of skin concerns, such as dull skin that needs pore control, dry and puffy skin, etc. These products are easy to use on a daily basis and help users achieve professional-quality skincare at home.

They also sell Rejunol Mucin Cream, which uses PDRN, the hottest anti-aging ingredient in Gangnam right now, as the main ingredient.

By combining PDRN (salmon-derived skin conditioning), which is an excellent ingredient for improving skin vitality, with snail mucin, it delivers all-in-one skincare benefits for skin tone/ texture improvement as well as soothing and moisturizing.

Recently, the brand launched a large 200ml tube type for greater convenience.

All GANGNAM glow products are available on Amazon and various channels such as Instagram and TikTok.
