An international circus on the Central Waterfront has recently wrapped up its performances after returning to Hong Kong after a seven year absence.
The group's chairman and founder Michael Denmark said reception was good despite an average ticket price of a thousand dollars.
He said on TVB's Straight Talk programme that many tourists who came to the city to watch the show also contributed to other sectors.
"This particular target, targeting the higher net worths, as it were, of tourism to come down," said Denmark. "We believe many of them were coming and staying overnight in hotels, going out for dinner. And this has been the target that's been slightly elusive in the last few years. And we, collectively as producers, are working with the government, have been really focused on what we can do to attract them to Hong Kong, to stay overnight and spend more. And I believe that bringing something world-class, such as Cirque du Soleil that you cannot get in Shenzhen or Guangzhou or anywhere in the Greater Bay, is something that adds to the attraction."
