旅行代理商及其職員
Travel agents and their staff
The Government has launched the Travel Industry Support Scheme (the Scheme) under the third round of Anti-epidemic Fund (AEF 3.0) to provide a one-off subsidy to travel agents and their staff:
- To provide each of the licensed travel agents with a cash subsidy, directly proportional to the number of staff members they have,
using a subsidy level (i.e. $5,000) per travel agent staff member as the basis of calculation.
Travel agent without any staff will also be getting a one-off subsidy of $5,000; and
- To provide each travel agent's staff a one-off subsidy of $15,000.
