From the Paper:

"Hong Kong has a free market economy highly dependent on tourism as one of its top industries. Per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) compares with the level in the four big economies of Western Europe. GDP growth averaged a strong five percent in 1989-1997, but Hong Kong has suffered two recessions in the past five years because of the Asian financial crisis in 1998 and the global downturn of 2001-2002. However, tourism is one of the few sectors that have registered growth during Hong Kong's present economic downturn because entertainment there has been more resistant to recession than has other industries."
