Japanese tourist arrivals in Hong Kong plunge after Diaoyus dispute

By jbecker, on November 30th, 2012

<!– google_ad_section_start –> The number of Japanese tourists coming to Hong Kong dropped for the second consecutive month in October, with industry executives blaming the dispute between Beijing and Tokyo over sovereignty of a group of islands. Arrivals fell by 24 per cent compared with a year ago, to 79,840. That followed a 9 per cent decline in September, Tourism Board figures released yesterday show. The government has been trying to broaden the tourism base, to avoid an over-reliance on mainlanders, who accounted for 67 per cent of all arrivals last year. <!– google_ad_section_end –>
