From the Paper:

"The Hong Kong market has long been synonymous with the business and financial set but it has also developed a substantial tourism industry. Hong Kong has become a tourism destination both for its proximity to Mainland China as well as for its own unique sights and sounds. Tourism officials in Hong Kong estimate that the number of overall arrivals into the region increased by over 8% just during the first 10 months of 2006 to a total of 20.76m unique arrivals classified as tourist related travel (HK, 2006)."
