Domestic tourist volume posted a review-period CAGR of 5.66%, with the total number of domestic trips rising from 198,300 in 2009 to 247,140 in 2013. An increase in mean household income and spending power spurred the demand. Total domestic tourist expenditure recorded a review-period CAGR of 6.98%, increasing from HKD30.6 billion (US$3.9 billion) in 2009 to HKD40.1 billion (US$5.1 billion) in 2013.

The growth in international arrivals and expenditure can be attributed to the government's promotional efforts through participation in international events.

Airlines are expected to record the highest forecast-period CAGR of 3.3%, driven by development projects undertaken by government to improve airport infrastructure.

Tourism packages recorded the highest review-period CAGR of 13.36% and accounted for 76.3% of the total revenue generated by travel intermediaries in 2013.
