According to the Immigration Department of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, around 1.5 million visitors from the Chinese mainland visited the city over the Spring Festival holiday, representing a year-on-year increase of 14 percent.

Considering the sluggish domestic consumption market, analysts said Chinese consumers are becoming a key factor driving the rebound of South Korea's retail industry.
Meanwhile, Chinese arrivals in Japan have continued to decline, pushing the country out of the top 10 destinations. Data released by the Japan National Tourism Organization on Feb 18 showed the number of Chinese visitors fell more than 60 percent year-on-year in January, with the number expected to remain low in February.
