For all its efforts to promote Hong Kong as an events hub, the government is broadcasting its lack of confidence to deliver when it counts.
The Hong Kong government's decision not to live broadcast the opening of Kai Tak Sports Park, despite extensive preparations, has drawn criticism for appearing hesitant to capitalize on the event to promote the city as a major events hub. While the government cited considerations related to TV broadcasting arrangements, lawmaker Doreen Kong Yuk-foon dismissed these reasons as unconvincing. The move has been seen as a missed opportunity to generate excitement and momentum for Hong Kong's event tourism.
