Incentives spur tourism innovation
**********************************
     The Government’s Characteristic Local Tourism Incentive Scheme, announced in the last Policy Address, provides subsidies to eligible travel agencies, encouraging the tourism industry to develop more immersive and distinctive tourism offerings that promote its sustainable long-term development.
