Notes:
Figures refer to the third quarter of the year. Figures in brackets refer to percentage changes over the same period of the preceding year.
(1) A service domain differs from a service industry in that it comprises those economic activities straddling different industries but are somehow related to a common theme. As an example, tourism includes all activities of all hotels and travel agents; and some (those involving visitors as customers) but not all of the activities of restaurants, retailers and transport operators.
(2) Part of the data are obtained from the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
