The University of Hong Kong (HKU) today (19 April) announced the details of the initial phase of the tourist flow management scheme that will come into effect on 1 May.

Tourists visiting the campus between 8am and 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday, will be required to make reservations through HKU’s online registration platform (https://tourist-registration-form.hku.hk/?lang=en) with their real name and email address prior to the intended visit. Visits will be divided into two-hour sessions with a limited number of visitor quota available for each session. Except for the times indicated above, visiting tourists are not required to make reservation for visiting HKU's campus in advance. Reservation is also not required for visiting the campus on Public Holidays.

Upon successful reservation, a QR code will be provided for admission and visiting tourists must enter and exit the campus through the access point(s) designated by HKU.

HKU shall adjust the arrangements and the quota for each session as appropriate. Special arrangements for individual days will be announced separately. Arrangements for invited individuals, approved service providers, and community users to access HKU will remain unchanged.

In addition to the online registration platform, HKU has developed a set of guidelines for tourists visiting the campus. These guidelines serve to preserve an environment conducive to teaching and learning for HKU members while allowing visiting tourists to explore the campus and history of the University at the same time.

Details of other measures to be launched in the later stages, including guided tour, will be announced in due course. HKU will closely monitor the effectiveness of the measures and make necessary adjustments, taking into consideration the feedback received from university members and the public.

HKU is recognised for its enduring and substantial role in fostering community development and partnerships by bridging the gap between town and gown. The University is committed to maintaining an open campus, for members of the public to visit and make best use of its facilities, while ensuring that university members can conduct their academic activities in an enabling environment.
