The Tour Service Coach Drivers (Mainly Serving Tourists) Support Scheme set up by the Government under the second round of the Anti-epidemic Fund is open for applications from today (May 6) to June 5.
The scheme will provide each tour service coach driver with a one-off subsidy of $10,000 as financial relief to tide over the current difficult time. A maximum of about 9 300 drivers are expected to benefit from the scheme.
The application details of the scheme are available at the Tourism Commission's website (www.tourism.gov.hk).
In addition, as for other support measures for the tourism industry in the second round of the Anti-epidemic Fund, including the Travel Agents and Practitioners Support Scheme and the Hotel Sector Support Scheme, the deadlines for applications are June 15 and May 18 respectively. Application details can be found at the Tourism Commission's website.
