The new policy of "one visa, multiple travel" for Shenzhen residents going to Hong Kong will be officially launched from December 1st. From that day on, registered residence residents and holders of residence permits in Shenzhen can apply for "one sign and multiple lines" endorsement for travel to Hong Kong, that is, they can travel to Hong Kong for an unlimited number of times within one year, and each stay in Hong Kong will not exceed 7 days. Industry insiders believe that this new policy will help promote integration and exchange within the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, bringing more vitality to regional economic development. On the morning of the 1st, the reporter arrived at an intelligent visa service point not far from Shenzhen Bay Port and saw that people were coming to handle visa services one after another. Mr. Zhang and his wife, citizens of Shenzhen, used a self-service machine to submit an application for a "one sign, multiple lines" visa. After inserting their Hong Kong and Macau travel permits, they checked the "one sign, multiple lines" option and scanned the QR code to make payment. Within a few minutes, they completed all the procedures. Mr. Zhang told reporters that after learning that he could apply for a "one visa, multiple travel" visa to Hong Kong, he decided to come and experience it as soon as possible. We basically go shopping in Hong Kong every month. Previously, we could only go once a week, but now it will be more convenient to go there. "Shenzhen residents interviewed by reporters generally welcomed the new policy. Ms. Zhou, a resident, said that in the past, she mainly went to Hong Kong for work needs. After the introduction of the "one visa, multiple travel" policy, she plans to apply for a new Hong Kong visa in the near future. The central government's plan to donate giant pandas to Hong Kong this month is to meet with the public. I want to take advantage of the 'one sign, multiple trips' policy to take my family and children on more trips, which is very convenient Ms. Zhou said. The tourism and consumer industries in Hong Kong are generally optimistic about the "dividends" brought by the implementation of the "one visa, multiple travel" policy. Hong Kong Legislative Council member Yao Bailiang believes that the new arrangement of "one visa, multiple trips" is particularly suitable for young people with certain purchasing power, who are more inclined to flexibly and independently plan their travel plans. He suggested further tapping into the market potential and developing more distinctive projects targeting this group of people, in order to disperse passenger flow and promote the development of deep tourism. From January 1 next year, residents with registered residence in Zhuhai can also apply for the endorsement of "One Week Tour" to Macao. According to data from the online travel platform Ctrip, Hong Kong and Macau are both among the top ten popular destinations for mainland residents to travel abroad this year. Chen Ruidong, General Manager of China Travel Service in Hong Kong, said that the introduction of this policy during the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays will undoubtedly greatly promote the enthusiasm of mainland tourists, especially those from Shenzhen, to visit Hong Kong. The strong popularity will be a direct benefit for Hong Kong's tourism, catering, retail, hotel, transportation and other industries. With the layout and upgrading of the transportation network, it will further promote the construction of the "1-hour living circle" in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. In the face of the upcoming peak in passenger flow, Yu Jingang, Deputy Director of the Land Port Department of the Shenzhen Port Office, said that they have jointly analyzed the growth trend of port traffic with border inspection and customs departments, invited multiple departments and representatives from the tourism industry to jointly study and increase the number of bus services at the port, and prepared for the increase in passenger flow after the implementation of the "one visa, multiple trips" policy.
