The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) announced on Saturday, July 26, that Hong Kong has successfully continued its post-pandemic tourism rebound by welcoming approximately 24 million visitor arrivals in the first half of 2025. This represents a 12% increase compared to the previous year.
In the month of June alone, the city welcomed 3.48 million visitors, which is a 11% increase from the same month last year. Travelers from Mainland China remained the dominant source, accounting for 75% of total arrivals. From January to June, 17.8 million Mainland visitors entered Hong Kong, a 10% rise compared to the same period in 2024.
Meanwhile, non-Mainland visitors reached 5.84 million for the first half of 2025, with a strong 17% increase year-on-year. Short-haul markets such as Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines surged by over 25%, while Australia led long-haul growth with a notable 33% jump.
With improved performance across both Mainland and international markets, Hong Kong is on track for a strong tourism rebound this year and beyond, reinforcing the city's position as a leading global destination.
