PolyU Study Finds Tourists Resilient to Hong Kong Weather
Tourists are quite resilient and rarely change their plans when they encounter poor weather while visiting Hong Kong, according to Professor Bob McKercher of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and his co-researchers. In a recently published study, the researchers tracked visitors' movements for almost two months to see whether the weather caused any changes in their behaviour. They found that unlike tourists to non-urban destinations, Hong Kong visitors tend to continue with their plans regardless, although "perceived comfort levels" do affect satisfaction for a small number of visitors.
