政府加碼宣傳啟德郵輪碼頭，惜成效欠佳。（李志湧攝）

啟德郵輪碼頭去年的郵輪停泊數字為一百九十次，出入境郵輪乘客超過八十五萬人次；旅遊發展局用於推廣郵輪旅遊的開支不斷增加，由一二及一三年度的一千三百三十二萬元，大幅增加近九成至一六及一七年度的二千五百一十六萬元，若計及本財政年度，估計六年共花逾億元，但抵港郵輪旅客的人均消費，無論是離船過夜或是過境香港的不過夜旅客消費一直下降，過夜郵輪旅客由一二年的四千二百九十元，勁跌三成至一五年的二千九百五十元，不過夜郵輪旅客亦由一二年的一千九百三十三元，下跌一成七至一五年的一千五百九十七元。

大年初一 食肆客量少

抵港郵輪客不消費，加上本地客又因交通配套不便及商場丟空而卻步，位於碼頭北端的三間同屬聯邦酒樓集團的餐廳，開業至今已三年，其中聯邦郵輪宴會中心高級經理梁偉權直言，三間餐廳均經營艱難，當中生意最好的聯邦郵輪宴會中心全靠婚宴撐起，惟由於並非每天都是結婚的吉日，加上碼頭交通配套不足，平日晚市生意特別冷清。記者於昨日農曆大年初一再到郵輪碼頭所見，雖有郵輪停泊，但人流未見增加，部分食肆休息、開業的也門庭冷清，反而有不少市民因附近人流少而在練跑。

議員：顧客定位早出錯

雖然，港鐵沙中線啟德站將於明年通車，但梁偉權不寄厚望，認為帶動人流的作用不大，因該站遠離啟德郵輪碼頭，「行過嚟起碼都要十五至二十分鐘」，對碼頭的支援有限，反而今年落成的啟德香港兒童醫院較近碼頭，惟醫院規模較小，所能帶動的人流也可能只是杯水車薪。他希望，政府能正視商戶的困難，有效地處理區內交通配套問題，如落實區內單軌列車等，真正方便公衆前往郵輪碼頭。

不過也有例外，位處同一端、新開張的一家親子餐廳則自去年底開業以來，因一家大小不僅能在室內用餐，也可到戶外公園玩樂，經營狀況看俏。

旅遊業界立法會議員姚思榮批評，政府當初對郵輪碼頭商業設施的顧客定位早已出錯，親子餐廳的成功正好給予政府啟示，應檢討招商方向，不應只針對郵輪客人，應多引進多元化、具特色的商舖吸引本地客。

" data-reactid="31">前特首曾蔭權爵士任內耗資逾八十億元興建的啟德郵輪碼頭啟用至今近五年，依然冷清儼如「死城」！雖然去年郵輪停泊數字有所提升，當局也加碼宣傳推廣，惟抵港郵輪旅客消費下降，南端本是名店所在的啟德泊遊城早丟空，本地客亦因交通不便而卻步，北端的食肆集中地坦言艱難經營。郵輪碼頭目前面對的困局，正好反映政府當初規劃郵輪碼頭時無眼光、無眼界，周邊配套嚴重脫節，終至今日的商場關門、食肆苦撐。旅遊界立法會議員姚思榮建議政府為郵輪碼頭商場重新定位，不應只針對郵輪客。

郵輪碼頭的交通配套不足，即使願意乘坐的士，也經常出現人等車情況。

This is an interesting thought I have over the many, many years, started off with then, one sees students studying at McDonalds, then later other fast food joints, then Starbucks & so forth, at the airport departure lounge.I has always wondered, does all these, get good grades or pass their examinations in such environments?

In the past, you will see them bringing along transistor radios, walkman then discman, then with the ear piece or headphone plug in, then they talk, gossip & you see them 'studying'. Many are couples, or couples in groups.

Later years, smartphones...clicking away, on instagram, facebook, whatsapp...text messages...or just watching videos or listening to music on their wireless headsets, or streaming whatever.

How good a multi-tasker can one get, chatting with one another, getting engrossed on social medias on their phones, watching movies etc. or listening to music etc....& studying their notes for the EXAMS.

Really?...do they make the grade or get good grades? STUDYING LIKE THAT?...that is the question, what do you think? or anyone had done that & passed with damn good grades?

pics are very misleading. in this (morning) pic you can see at least 3 cruise ships docked at the terminal. when the terminal is empty it means passengers are in town on city and inland tours, have disembarked and gone their merry ways, or arriving the day before and staying at hotels before embarkation in the afternoon. cruise terminals will never be crowded at all times. most of the time "home ports" (terminals which are home docks to major cruises) will be empty as ships typically dock on a saturday morning and return the next or following saturday morning for either a 7-day or 14-day cruise. you will see crowds when ships arrive for mass disembarkation and 6.9 hours before they leave when they take on passengers. in between those days, it's a ghost terminal for close to 6.9 days a week.
