Hong Kong’s quota allocated for mainland travel is enough for current demand, the city’s leader said, in a signal the cap won’t be immediately lifted.
Up to 50,000 people are allowed to travel daily into the mainland via land checkpoints, which opened for the first time in three years on Sunday. Some 90% of the quota has been taken up, Chief Executive John Lee said at a weekly press conference Tuesday, adding that the government will look at whether there is room to adjust the limit.
