The government on Sunday launched the Day and Night Vibes campaign, marking the start of a series of activities over the next five months.

Chief Secretary Eric Chan, who officiated at the opening ceremony, said the cooperation between the government, the business sector and the public had enabled the activities to be organised quickly.

He added that business associations in various districts had offered their overwhelming support and discounts to encourage spending by residents and tourists.

He said there would be different activities for families and people of different ages.

"Starting with the Central And Western District, I hope all 18 districts will organise similar events for residents, so that they'll have a joyous Lunar New Year and a happy life," he said.
