Hong Kong Disneyland will improve its ticketing and admission arrangements, Hong Kong Financial Secretary Henry Tang said Thursday, adding the park is liaising with the tourism sector to see how to address visitor demand.

Speaking after meeting with the park's management, Tang said he was very concerned that paying guests were unable to enter the theme park during the Lunar New Year holidays.

Noting the government attaches great importance to the possible negative impact of the incident on Hong Kong's image, Tang said the park's ticketing and admission arrangements have been reviewed.

Describing the meeting as a constructive discussion, the secretary said both parties also spoke about improving arrangements in future peak seasons.

Tang said the park has learned a lesson and promised to implement a series of measures to avoid recurrence.
