Foreign, mainland students flock to Hong Kong sparking property demand in education sector (SCMP)
|
|
|
Hong Kong's bid to become a global education hub is likely to transform the sector as a sustainable source of property demand, with the city tipped to see around 200,000 non-local students by 2035, according to CBRE.
