HONG KONG – Hong Kong’s online registration system for people to reserve a spot to travel to mainland China was overwhelmed by users on its first day of operation, signalling the daily quota of 60,000 people isn’t enough to meet pent-up demand.
As of early Friday morning, most slots for Sunday, the day of the border reopening, were booked out. Another popular date is Jan 21, the day before Chinese New Year, which only had limited availability left.which has effectively been shut since early 2020, is aimed at helping Hong Kong revive the social and business ties with the mainland that are at the core of its economy.
That has curtailed optimism about any short-term boost for Hong Kong’s economy, which has been battered by three years of strict Covid-19 curbs. While Hong Kong officials said on Thursday they’ll seek to increase the daily quota, it’s unclear how quickly cross-border travel can return to pre-pandemic levels. In 2019, there was an average of 640,000 trips a day between the city and the mainland via the land border control points.
