Cross border services
The steady resumption of normal traveller clearance and of trade between Mainland, Hong Kong and Macau is the most exciting news in the past three years, since we are finally able to expand our business in the Greater Bay Area and better integrate into the overall development of our country. As described by Mr. Leung Chun-ying, the resumption of clearance could be said to be “God helping those who help themselves”.
