We remained steadfast in our core strategy of 'Healthcare + Medical Beauty' to satisfy the individual needs of the consumers.As the demand generally bounced back after the three-year pandemic, the rebound in tourist arrivals in Hong Kong this year will bring along additional cross-border customers to the Group, which will reinforce the Group's determination to become the most favourable aesthetic medical service centres in the Greater Bay Area in the long run.In mainland China, we will closely monitor the market dynamics and economic landscape to better prepare for the economic fluctuation. We spare no effort in optimising our business operation to improve shop productivity to fully capitalise on the rebound in foot traffic at shopping malls.
