Catering sector projects to feast on 10pc growth with July 1 promotions

The overall business in the city's catering sector is anticipating a 10 percent growth with the launch of special promotions today to celebrate the 28th anniversary of the establishment of the HKSAR, according to Simon Wong Ka-wo, president of the Hong Kong Federation of Restaurants and Related Trades.

In honor of July 1 handover anniversary, over 3,800 restaurants and merchants are offering various enticing deals, where some patrons can enjoy meals at just 71 percent of the original price.

Wong believed these discounts would encourage locals to dine out and spend more, expressing hopes for an increase in the number of tourists in the coming days to further stimulate the industry.

One Tai Kok Tsui restaurant, which is offering a 29 percent discount for dine-in customers throughout the day, has attracted a significant number of customers early in the morning.

Customer Chan expressed delight at the discount, stating, "At least I won't have to head up north for a cheaper meal during the holiday."
