Tourism workers in HK worried

Forty percent of employees in Hong Kong's hotels and beverage industries have voiced worries about their career future, according to a recent survey by an industry association.

The city recorded a 15 percent slump in arrivals from the Chinese mainland in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the same period last year.

Among the respondents to the survey by the Hong Kong Hotels, Food and Beverage Employees Association in April, only 12.5 percent of the employees were optimistic about their jobs and the industry's prospects.
