The Hong Kong Special Administrative¹ Region Government on Tuesday issued a red Outbound Travel Alert (OTA) on South Korea in light of an outbreak of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome² (MERS) there.

鉴于韩国目前正爆发中东呼吸综合症疫情，香港特别行政区周二发布一份针对韩国的红色旅游警告。

Speaking to reporters ahead of an Executive Council meeting this morning, acting³ Chief Executive of Hong Kong Carrie Lam said that Hong Kong has close links with South Korea which is a popular destination for package and study tours.

Issuing the OTA can give the tourism industry a clearer direction to do the follow-up work, said Lam, who also called on the public to avoid unnecessary travel to South Korea.

Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong Executive Director Joseph Tung Yiu-chung Tuesday announced the cancellation⁴ of all package tours to South Korea before June 30, excluding cruise tours.

Those who have signed up for South Korea tours before June 1 could have refund⁵ of tour fee and passenger departure tax from travel agencies, said Tung, who agreed that the red OTA can facilitate insurance companies' work on the issue.

Since South Korea is a popular destination for tourists, Tung expected that around 10,000 to 12,000 tourists have been affected⁶ since the outbreak of MERS.

Under the three-color OTA system, black is the highest alert, red the middle and amber⁷ the lowest.

South Korea's health ministry⁸ said earlier Tuesday that with eight new infections added, the total number of MERS cases in the country has risen to 95.
