HKR International

HKR International, through its Hong Kong Resort Company subsidiary, is the developer of Discovery Bay, a resort-style residential community in Hong Kong. The company is currently newsworthy due to a proposal to grant full taxi access to Discovery Bay, which has sparked significant opposition from some residents. Recent developments include the submission of a taxi proposal to the Transport Department and a discussion of the proposal at the Islands District Council’s Traffic and Transport Committee. A petition against the proposal, citing concerns about safety and the community's unique character, has garnered over 1,100 signatures. HKR International is now considering extending the trial period for taxi access and limiting operating hours in response to these concerns. The situation highlights the challenges of balancing accessibility with the preservation of the community's established environment and resident preferences.
