Real-name booking planned for Hong Kong geopark trail to curb scalping, no-shows
Hong Kong's geopark is planning to implement a real-name reservation system for the Po Pin Chau trail to manage overcrowding and prevent scalping. This initiative follows a surge in visitors during a recent holiday that pushed the trail to its capacity. Officials are considering a ballot mechanism rather than a first-come, first-served approach to ensure fair access and deter no-shows. AI
