As the protracted social unrest continues to slam Hong Kong's economy, especially the tourism sector, the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDR) planned to attract more visitors in 2020 with new gourmet series.

At a promotion event on Monday here, the theme park's culinary team presented their specialties for 2020, including cuisines and desserts featuring Disney movies, Chinese dishes suitable for family meals and afternoon tea selections with cocktails and snacks to attract local visitors.

Mak Kam Kui, executive chef of the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, said that compared with last year, tourists from the Chinese mainland and other areas declined sharply. "We do hope to attract more visitors to enjoy our food next year."

The theme park's effort to upgrade its menus to attract more local visitors came after Hong Kong's tourism sector was hard hit by recent social unrest.

One can notice something is off: No traffic jam on the expressway to Disneyland. No long lines in the park.
