	HK Outdoors - Eco-tourism in Hong Kong Stifled by Bureuacrats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		I concluded we were suffering partly as there are so few non-mainland tourists in Hong Kong; also because promotions of Hong Kong's image ignore or almost ignore the variety here: a much-ballyhooed advert featuring Jackie Chan was dull, cliché-ridden.
		Yet, the conditions for developing eco-tourism are poor: clumsy regulations, unimaginative Hong Kong image promotions and the obsession with mainland Chinese shoppers are key reasons I believe (a recent survey found that only 10% of visitors come to Hong Kong for sightseeing — partly because so little of Hong Kong is promoted??).
		Those Discovery and National Geographic channels are very popular; very few people will visit Hong Kong solely for birding (say), but many more might be interested in a Mai Po trip, or a hike or a dolphinwatch, as part of a holiday that could include shopping, dining, whatever.
