Oct 1–7

CCTV reports Paul Chan's favorable holiday assessment, over 277,000 mainland arrivals October 1 and over 1.13 million by October 5. Vivian Kong describes occupancy above ninety percent and stable-to-rising room rates; visitors praise the city. Ken Tsoi describes benefits to tourism, hotels and catering, partly credits official events, and urges service/cultural improvements.

Future plans remain distinct from observed holiday figures.
