DOI: 10.1177/001088049403500515 Hong KongSustaining Competitive Advantage in Asia's Hotel IndustryDepartment of Hotel and Tourism Management at Hong Kong Polytechnic
In 1993, 7.2 million international visitors came to Hong Kong, spending nearly US$6.8 billion, which money represents 6.5 percent of Hong Kong's gross domestic product. The authors identify the contribution of the hotel industry in developing tourism into a leading Hong Kong industry, pinpoint the reasons for the territory's predominant influence on Asia's hotel industry, and examine the challenges to the industry's future growth. They conclude with a vision statement in which they present Hong Kong in the 21st century as Asia's center of excellence for the export of hotel-management and tourism-development expertise to developing economies in the region.
