Violence takes toll on Hong Kong's tourism industry

Few tourists are seen at a duty-free store in Causeway Bay of Hong Kong, south China, Aug. 20, 2019. As protracted violence continues to roil Hong Kong, its tourism industry has turned into a chilly winter due to the unrest. In the June-July period, average earnings for tourism workers plunged by 74 percent, while the number of tours in Hong Kong fell 74 percent on average, according to a survey by the Hong Kong Tour Guides General Union.
