Story summary

With around 500 visitors expected, Hong Kong aims to capitalize on the growing ease of travel for overseas tourists visiting mainland Chinese cities directly.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
