    Halloween economy / Crowd control in Lan Kwai Fong / Planned law amendments on abandoned cars

    On Thursday’s Backchat, we’re talking about Halloween, as the city’s nightlife spots and tourists attractions are gearing up for the celebrations.

    From restaurants providing themed menus to costume shops competing to sell the most frightening outfits, Halloween has long been seen as a major revenue driver for businesses.
    Despite this year’s date falling on a weekday, authorities are expecting 25,000 revelers in Lan Kwai Fong alone, but questions remain as to how much people are ready to spend.
    Meanwhile, security is expected to be tight, and the police have installed 50 new CCTV cameras with crowd counting capabilities. Facial and car plate recognition functions will be added next year as part of a territory-wide upgrade of video surveillance systems.
    So how popular has Halloween become? Are this year’s celebrations attracting people from across the border? And is AI going to relieve some of the crowd control duties from the police?
    After 9:45, we’re talking about a planned change in the law to tackle the problem of unwanted vehicles being abandoned.

    Safety of plastic tableware alternatives / Should some hiking spots be off-limit to amateurs

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Janice Wong

    On today's Backchat, we're talking about the alternatives to plastic tableware that are fast becoming the new norm after the ban on single use plastics took effect late last month.

    Most restaurants have adapted swiftly, switching to a mixture of paper, wooden and bamboo substitutes. But environmentalists say that, instead of just using other disposable products, there should be more emphasis on reusable tableware instead.
    Meanwhile, the government is considering allowing suppliers of non-plastic tableware to voluntarily submit safety certificates to help allay concerns that some may contain small amounts of carcinogenic substances.
    So how well is the ban on plastic tableware working? Are you happy with the alternatives? And what should be the next step?
    After 9:45, we get a professional hiker's take on whether some spots should be off limits to amateur walkers, after two hiking-related deaths within just 24 hours.
