LCSD invites interested parties to submit expression of interest for market engagement in operating designated public beaches
******************************************************************************************
     The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) today (April 24) invited interested commercial entities or groups to submit expression of interest (EOI) for the development of three designated public beaches under its management into recreational, leisure and aquatic venues by introducing market-based business models. The designated beaches are Ma Wan Tung Wan Beach in Tsuen Wan District, Butterfly Beach in Tuen Mun District and Big Wave Bay Beach in Southern District.
 
     The 2025 Policy Address announced that the LCSD would explore the feasibility of engaging the market and select some public beaches as pilot sites, with a view to exploring the possibility of leveraging market forces and adopting commercial operations to enhance beach facilities and developing pilot beaches into recreational, leisure and aquatic venues, thereby attracting more tourists and members of the public.
 
     The LCSD is inviting views from the market. Interested commercial entities or groups are invited to put forward feasible proposals for the introduction of market-based business models into the designated beaches. The feedback and information gathered will assist the LCSD in formulating the way forward and future operation details of the relevant venues. The EOI invitation document is available on the LCSD website. Interested parties should submit their EOI by June 18 (Thursday). The LCSD will conduct a briefing session at the Audio-Visual Room, 1/F, Leisure and Cultural Services Headquarters, 1-3 Pai Tau Street, Sha Tin, New Territories, at 2pm on May 26 (Tuesday).
 
     For enquiries, please email the LCSD at avu@lcsd.gov.hk.
