Visitor quotas needed to protect country parks, 4 trails challenge founder says

The founder of the Hong Kong Four Trails Ultra Challenge has called for a quota system to be implemented during public holidays to protect the city’s natural resources, saying recent scenes of overcrowding left him feeling “quite disturbed”.Andre Blumberg, who created the now-famous 298km ultra-marathon covering Hong Kong’s four major trails, said the city should consider adopting a reservation system akin to those seen in some national parks in the United States.“Hong Kong is really privileged to have these natural resources and country parks,” Blumberg said on the sidelines of the Global Prosperity Summit on Tuesday.
