****************************************************************************************
The Legislative Council Panel on Home Affairs, Culture and Sports visited the Kai Tak Sports Park (KTSP) today (February 24) to gain insight into the latest operation of its facilities.
Accompanied by the Under Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Mr Raistlin Lau, and the Commissioner for Sports, Mr George Tsoi, Members first visited the Kai Tak Gallery and received a briefing from representatives of the KTSP Limited on the overall planning and core facilities of the Park, including its design concept, construction process, operation model and vision.
Members noted that the KTSP has hosted numerous major sports and entertainment events since its opening on March 1, 2025. According to leading international industry magazine Pollstar, Kai Tak Stadium ranked third globally in ticket sales and fifth worldwide in total gross revenue in 2025, while placing first in both categories across Asia. Members noted and supported the efforts of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau and the KTSP Limited to continue to proactively attract more mega events to the KTSP, so as to leverage its strength as an essential vehicle for maintaining Hong Kong as a centre for major international sports events and developing sports as an industry, with a view to making use of the sports infrastructure to boost "sports + mega events" development, thereby injecting new impetus into economy and further solidifying Hong Kong's position as Asia's Events Capital.
Members then toured the Kai Tak Stadium to learn about its internal design features. They also visited the Central Square and the outdoor facilities to observe the exterior architecture of the Kai Tak Stadium, which is designed around the theme of the Pearl of the Orient. Members also learnt about the design features and various facilities of the Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground, as well as the outdoor sports and recreational facilities at the North Garden. Members also visited the Kai Tak Arena to get a bird's eye view of its Grand Hall to gain an understanding of its internal design features. During the visit, Members proposed that continuous efforts be made by KTSP Limited to enhance its parking facilities and pedestrian pathways (including barrier-free facilities), with a view to improving accessibility of the venues and encouraging community participation.
A total of 14 members and non-members of the Panel on Home Affairs, Culture and Sports participated in the visit.
