International business leaders in Hong Kong have urged the government to do more in easing quarantine and travel restrictions that penalise airlines with bans if passengers are found to be testing positive for Covid on arrival in the city.
Hong Kong is also allowing non-residents to travel to the city from May 1, but members of the business community with overseas connections say the loosening of an entry ban that has hindered travel and tourism for two years is not enough.
“Things remain unpredictable, things remain unmanageable,” said Michiel Mak, vice chairman of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, told The Standard.
“For businesspeople, unpredictability is the worst thing. Even if you have complied with the rules, there’s no guarantee that you can travel at all.”
