Hong Kong to Expand Marina Infrastructure in Major Push for Yacht Tourism

2 days ago7 min read

Hong Kong is launching a significant initiative to bolster its yacht tourism sector by addressing a critical shortage of berthing space. With over 12,000 registered yachts competing for only 4,300 berths, the city is moving to add approximately 1,100 new berths across several strategic locations.The planned developments include a new marina at Airport Bay, offering a unique arrival experience juxtaposed with aviation, a revitalized waterfront at Hung Hom, a transformed former Lamma Quarry into a leisure boating destination, and an expanded Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter to accommodate modern vessels. This expansion is a key component of broader waterfront development strategies aimed at diversifying Hong Kong's tourism appeal.The vision is to position the city as a premier yachting hub, enhancing its leisure profile and creating synergies with nearby attractions like the AsiaWorld-Expo. The initiative reflects a strategic pivot towards cultivating a more accessible and affluent maritime identity. The ultimate success of this plan will depend on its execution, balancing exclusivity with public access and integrating new marinas organically into the city's iconic coastal landscape.
