Wong Ka-Wo
Wong Ka-Wo is the president of the Hong Kong Restaurants Association, and he recently made headlines by expressing concerns about the potential decline in business during the upcoming Easter holiday due to a significant number of Hong Kong residents expected to travel abroad. He indicated that the restaurant industry might see a 20% to 25% drop in revenue as local dining is affected by the exodus of customers, with particular concern for mid to high-end establishments. Wong also noted a slight improvement in the dining scene compared to the previous year, attributing this to increased nighttime activities and a rise in late-night dining.
