<div><font color="#000000"> Democratic groups propose arrival tax of up to HK$100 to curb mainland visitors Suggestion by democratic groups to charge visitors up to HK$100 is rejected by the tourism trade and labelled ‘brutal’ by one lawmaker PUBLISHED : Tuesday, 11 February, 2014, 4:33am UPDATED : Tuesday, 11 February, 2014, 10:12am Jeffie Lam [email protected] Two democratic groups have proposed slapping an arrival tax of HK$20 to HK$100 on non-Hong Kong residents who enter the city by land as a means of curbing the influx of mainland visitors. But the idea drew a hostile reaction from the tourist industry, which said it would damage the city's image, and a Beijing-friendly lawmaker who said it was a rather a "brutal" solution. The biggest tax, HK$100, was suggested by radical group People Power. The Democratic Party proposed HK$20 to HK$50. Concern about Hong Kong's ability to absorb mainland tourists has risen since commerce chief Greg So Kam-leung estimated last month that tourist numbers could climb 30 per cent to 70 million a year in three years, and to 100 million in a decade.
