The Immigration Department of Hong Kong is appealing to
travelers to vote in the annual courtesy campaign at Hong Kong's 11
immigration control points, a spokesman said on Wednesday.
"The campaign aims to encourage staff to provide courteous and
efficient service to the public, and will also help promote Hong
Kong's tourism," he said.
"Travelers may vote for control officers performing commendable
immigration clearance services for them. They can get a ballot form
from the staff, fill in their own names, travel document or Hong
Kong identity card numbers, date and the officer's name, and then
put the forms into the ballot boxes placed behind the immigration
counters at the control point." he added.
The spokesman for the department said that the campaign would be
conducted from Nov. 19 to 25.
With the e-Channel service available at the 11 control points,
e-Channel users can vote for staff members who are helpful and
courteous in assisting them to use the automated service, the
spokesman said.
The campaign will be publicized at the immigration control
points during the voting period. The Immigration Control Officer
who gets the highest votes will be appointed Hong Kong Courtesy
Ambassador by the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
