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)

Including business receipts from the Airport Authority as from the third quarter of 1998.

(2)

Not including investment and holding companies.

(3)

Not including real estate development.

(4)

A service domain differs from a service industry in that a domain comprises those economic activities straddling different industries but are somehow related to a common purpose. Tourism is a good example. It includes all activities of hotels and travel agents; and some (those involving visitors as customers) but not all of the activities of restaurants, retailers and transport operators.

(5)

Part of the data is obtained from the Hong Kong Tourism Board and figures have been revised to incorporate the new data on destination consumption expenditure of incoming visitors and travellers released by the Hong Kong Tourism Board in November 2003. For details, please refer to the feature article 'Statistics on Inbound Tourism' in the December 2003 issue of the Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics.
