Legislative Council Calls for Drone Show Contingency Plans Amid Cancellation Challenges
Contingency Plans Urged by Legislative Council
In light of the recent cancellation of a highly anticipated drone show, the Legislative Council of Hong Kong is pushing for contingency plans to protect the city's image and tourist experiences.
Cancellation Due to Ionospheric Interference
The drone show was scheduled to occur on the eve of the 75th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China but was unexpectedly cancelled due to severe interference with electronic signals caused by a solar storm. This astronomical phenomenon reportedly may affect operations for over a year.
- The show disappointment led to a call for better contingency measures.
- Lawmaker Elizabeth Quat highlighted the importance of clear communication with tourists.
- Ma Fung-kwok suggested offering viewers small tokens to manage their expectations.
Future Drone Shows and Plans
With another drone show set for Tuesday night, concerns remain about whether it will successfully proceed. Lawmakers stress that organizers must be informed and prepare for unexpected issues similar to those experienced in Macau.
