The Financial Secretary, Mr John C Tsang, spent the last day of his three-nation Central Europe visit in Frankfurt, Germany, today (September 26, Frankfurt time) by seeing for himself the operation of food trucks there.
Mr Tsang visited food trucks and stalls in Konstablerwache and enjoyed having the opportunity to try the popular local food from a food truck.
"I put forward the proposal in this year's Budget to introduce food trucks in Hong Kong, hoping to attract more overseas tourists to Hong Kong. The experience of operation of German food trucks would be a good reference for Hong Kong," he said.
The Commerce and Economic Development Bureau has been studying, in collaboration with relevant departments, the mode of operation, licensing, environmental hygiene in relation to the operation of food trucks.
Having completed his six-day visit to Budapest in Hungary, Warsaw in Poland and Dusseldorf and Frankfurt in Germany, Mr Tsang will return to Hong Kong tomorrow morning (September 27).
