As part of activities to help promote the local community economy, the department upgrades existing facilities in various districts to enhance their attraction to local visitors and tourists. The aim is to generate more business activities and create more jobs. Projects completed in 2004 included the provision of alfresco dining facilities at the Tai Po Waterfront Park and Chinese tea house, and arts and crafts stalls at the Kowloon Walled City Park. Projects in progress cover the construction of a footpath linking the five beaches in Tuen Mun, and exploring the feasibility of converting the Seaview Building at Repulse Bay Beach for hotel use.
