Tourism experts expect Yonago will become popular destination among Hongkongers, thanks to its natural sceneries such Mount Daisen and Tottori Sand Dune.
Greater Bay Airlines will launch direct flights between Hong Kong and a lesser-known Japanese city, with tourism experts saying it may become a popular destination for residents who visit the country frequently and are getting bored with the traditional attractions.
The airline announced on Monday that the scheduled flights to Yonago in Tottori Prefecture would kick off on October 27, expanding its network in Japan to three destinations after Tokyo and Osaka.
The new service between Hong Kong and Yonago Kitaro Airport will run three times a week, with the airline saying it currently operated charter flights to meet the demand in the summer holiday.
Tourism industry representatives said they expected the demand for the new route to be high since Greater Bay Airlines would be the only local firm offering it.
