WHAT HAPPENED
According to the South China Morning Post, Ken Chu Ka‑chun, owner of Asura Group’s restaurants at Kai Tak Sports Park, recorded a 20 % rise in business over the last month after Hong Kong’s government announced a dog‑friendly scheme allowing nearly 1,000 establishments to welcome pets on July 9.
Chu said the uptick comes from a higher number of dog owners dining at his venues, noting the area’s popularity with walkers. “We saw more dog owners coming in because people frequently walk their dogs around here,” he explained. His restaurants feature separate seating areas for diners and their pets and hold pet‑friendly licences that permit dogs on the premises.
The policy is part of an effort to boost local hospitality by catering to pet owners, and Chu’s experience shows early commercial benefits.
- 20 % increase in business at Chu’s restaurant within a month of the dog‑friendly scheme
- Scheme allows dogs in almost 1,000 Hong Kong venues as of July 9
- Chu’s restaurants have separate pet‑friendly seating areas and licences
