On this programme, we looked at how the retail, hotel and food and beverage sectors performed over the Lunar New Year holiday in Hong Kong. With the first day of the holiday alone seeing over 150-thousand visitors, we heard from an expert on how the tourism boost was able to give Hong Kong and the GBA region a shot in the arm to start the Year of the Horse.
We then talked with a lead scientist of an initiative to restore reefs. He's leading a team to boost coastal bio-diversity in Hong Kong waters.
After the break, we spoke to the organisers of the upcoming international ice hockey tournament that will take place in Discovery Bay.
And finally, the Director of the SAR's Legal Aid Department told us about his priorities for 2026, including measures to help those affected by the Tai Po fire.
