The sport and recreation sector has had a growing impact on the global economy with significant investments in public infrastructure, mobilising resources and creating new professions and jobs. It is expected that the number of major multi-sport competitions, and the demand for recreational services in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area will continue to increase, and that opportunities to work in this industry will further expand.
In addition, the international sport events in Asia, such as 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, boosted greater interest and participation in sport and exercise among the community, and enhanced Hong Kong’s image as a sport and culture hub of Asia.
