The Hong Kong government is planning to announce subsidies for airfares and hotels to help revive tourism in a city that’s been roiled by protests the past few months, local newspaper HK01 reported.
The handouts will include subsidies of HK$120 ($15.30) per air ticket and HK$100-a-night for hotels, subject to specific conditions, according to the report, which cited unidentified people. Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan is due to hold a briefing at 4 p.m. local time to outline initiatives to support businesses.
