Hong Kong's share of tourists from the Chinese mainland is predicted to drop to 27 percent by 2020, down from a peak of 42 percent in 2012.
Brokerage firm CLSA conducted a survey with 400 tourists from the mainland. The survey found that the tourists are attaching greater importance to experiencing foreign cultures when choosing holiday destinations.
Aaron Fischer, an official from CLSA says this partially explained the shift away from Hong Kong, which is primarily viewed as a shopping destination.
Fischer says when people travel to these other places, the impressions they're having are quite positive, particularly when it comes to the environment or experience of foreign culture. And for the most part, people are visiting these other countries to experience the culture not just shopping.
The official says Hong Kong still has capacity constraints, with occupancy rates in hotels still at a high level despite the economic slowdown. He also identified a lack of new attractions and widely reported tensions between some locals and mainland tourists as other obstacles the city was facing.

Taiwan has become one of the most popular travel destinations for mainland residents during the winter holiday season thanks to an increase in the quota allowed for tour groups.
The island's tourism authority has raised the daily quota from 5,000 people to 8,000 between November and February to cope with the growing demand for travel during the Spring Festival, the lunar New Year.
The authority raised the quota for tour groups several times in 2014 and allowed visits by tourists from more mainland regions. Residents in 47 mainland cities can now visit Taiwan as individual tourists.
As cooperation has strengthened between the two sides, cross-Straits tourism has boomed in recent years. Last year, more than 4 million mainland tourists visited Taiwan, surpassing those from Japan to become the biggest spenders.

在内地游客市场占有率方面，香港从2012年最高位的42%逐年下跌，预期2020年将跌至27%。
里昂证券对400名内地游客进行了一项调查。调查发现，在选择度假目的地时，内地游客更希望体验外国文化。
里昂证券官员阿龙·费希尔表示，这是访港内地游客减少的部分原因，因为香港被普遍视为购物圣地。
费希尔表示，人们去其他地方旅游时，通常会对环境和感受外国文化留下好印象。在大多数情况下，人们去其他国家旅游的目的是感受当地文化，而不仅仅是购物。
费希尔说，香港仍会受能力制约，虽然经济放缓，但是酒店入住率仍保持较高水平。他同时指出，香港缺乏新景点、香港及内地之间的矛盾导致关系紧张等，都是香港面临的障碍。
