Abstract

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) first appeared in February 2002 in China's Guangdong Province before emerging in neighbouring Hong Kong in late February. The epidemic had a negatively profound impact on tourism around the world, with particularly strong impacts on countries in South-East Asia. This paper will present a brief SARS chronology with critical events or impacts on Hong Kong's tourism industry.
