Aberdeen Tourism Project

The map is not drawn in scale

Aberdeen is a famous tourist attraction in Hong Kong. The Tourism Commission (TC) appointed a consultant in end 2006 to develop a conceptual design for the Aberdeen Tourism Project which aims to further bring out the unique features of 'traditional fishing harbour' and the local culture of Aberdeen and, by reinforcing the elements of diversified tourism, to enhance Aberdeen's attractiveness to both international visitors and local residents. The study area of the consultancy covers both sides of the Aberdeen Harbour and the scope of study includes hardware facilities, software and local traffic arrangements, etc.

The Consultant has completed the framework for the conceptual design of the Aberdeen Tourism Project. The key features include:

(a) re-developing and revitalizing both sides of the Aberdeen harbour under the theme of 'Fisherman's Wharf' and enlarging the activity area of the promenades;
(b) developing exhibition facilities based on the theme of traditional fishing harbour to unfold the long history and story of Aberdeen ;
(c) enhancing the use of traditional sampans, which are well liked by visitors, as a means of water transport to shuttle between both sides of Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau and to link with Ocean Park (OP), as well as for providing a convenient means of transport for visitors of OP to travel to and from the tourism facilities in Aberdeen ;
(d) organizing local cultural activities on a regular basis to bring out the traditional and cultural characteristics of Aberdeen ;
(e) setting up a visitor information centre and visitor signages at appropriate locations along the Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau promenades;
(f) providing additional coach parking and pick-up/ drop-off points at appropriate locations for visitors' convenience.

We are now evaluating the business potential, financial viability and institutional arrangement of the Aberdeen Tourism Project, based on the Consultant's conceptual design and initial study findings.
