 Notes : Figures for exports of travel services have incorporated the revised data on destination consumption expenditure of incoming visitors and 
                 travellers released by the Hong Kong Tourism Board in March 2005.  The revision is mainly due to the adoption of enhanced statistics  
                 on the spending of visitors from the mainland of China.
             Figures for exports of financial services have incorporated figures estimated on the basis of latest data released by the Hong Kong Monetary
                 Authority.
             @Figures are subject to revision later on as more data become available.
