HK Disneyland tries to attract more visitors with new gourmet series

Due to the drop of visitors, many restaurants and rides in the park were closed and the classic night parade performance has been suspended for nearly two months. It also canceled the New Year's Eve countdown party over concerns of the unrest's effect on transportation.

According to the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), only 11.9 million visitor arrivals have been recorded in Hong Kong during the July-September period in 2019, down 26 percent year on year, the sharpest decline in 16 years. The number of tourist arrivals dropped further by around 40 percent year on year in October.

Anita Lai, vice president of communications and public affairs of HKDR, said that the total visitor arrivals in Hong Kong have been dropping and the theme park's business was also depressed in this environment.

HKDR will mark its 15th anniversary in 2020, said Lai. "We do hope to receive more visitors to our park next year."
