The just-concluded Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament was conceived in hope, nurtured with faith and born out of courage. The whole of our community shares its success. Yes, it was not what it used to be but it was an even bigger achievement because of the difficult conditions under which it took place.
The happy faces, joy and friendliness displayed by all who attended is a strong reflection of what Hong Kong is all about. Our chief executive and several of his ministers were there too, sharing the joy, having a drink and shaking hands. What a message of confidence!
Let us all chip in and make our home what we want it to be – vibrant, vivacious and welcoming. We never close.
James A. Elms, Wan Chai
Change of strategy needed to boost business and tourism
Hong Kong can open up like Singapore for tourists and businesspeople. Travellers who choose to go to China could quarantine at designated hotels for seven days. Furthermore, we should remove vaccination requirements, except for those travelling to the mainland.
