Li Siu-po: Traditional malls struggle under online shopping impact, should attract customers through experience

The Airport Authority said yesterday that after taking over 11 SKIES, it will transform the site into a world-class integrated entertainment hub, adding motorised amusement facilities such as a high-end car park. Economist Li Siu-po said traditional malls are struggling to survive under the impact of online shopping and should attract customers through experience, adding that airport passenger traffic has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels and he is not optimistic about the outlook.
