Courtesy Campaign at Immigration Control Points

24 November 2003

The Immigration Department appealed today (November 23) to travellers to cast their votes in the annual courtesy campaign at the eight immigration control points.

"The campaign will be conducted from November 24 to 30, 2003. It aims at promoting staff awareness to deliver a courteous and efficient service to the public. It will also help promote the Hong Kong tourism," a spokesman for the department said.

"The campaign will be conducted by voting. Travellers will cast their votes on the counter officers performing commendable immigration clearance service for them by filling in their own names and travel document or Hong Kong identity card numbers on the ballot forms with the officer's name, and then insert their ballot forms into the ballot boxes placed behind the immigration counters at immigration control points," the spokesman added.

Appropriate publicity will be made at the immigration control points during the period appealing to travellers.

The Immigration Control Officer who gets the most votes will be crowned the Hong Kong Courtesy Ambassador by the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
