According to BlockBeats, as the U.S. Congress reconvenes, senators face a challenging task to meet deadlines set by U.S. President Donald Trump. The first deadline involves Trump's significant tax and budget proposal, known as the 'Beautiful Act.' This updated version narrowly passed the House of Representatives last month with a vote of 215 to 214.
The bill has now moved to the Senate, where it is expected to encounter similar resistance from some Republican dissenters. Republican leaders aim to have the bill, ideally in a form close to its current version, ready for the President's signature by July 4.
Following this, senators must work on passing the 'GENIUS Act,' which Trump hopes will be approved by the end of summer. A source familiar with the matter indicated that the President's growing interest in cryptocurrency businesses presents a bipartisan challenge for both Republicans and Democrats.#Congress #Legislation #TaxProposal #BudgetProposal #BeautifulAct #GENIUSAct #DonaldTrump #Cryptocurrency #Bipartisan

🚀 Hong Kong to Introduce New Light Show to Boost Tourism

Hong Kong's latest budget proposal includes several initiatives aimed at enhancing the tourism sector, such as replacing the long-standing 'Symphony of Lights' with a new light and shadow show. According to RTHK, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Lo Suk-pui, announced at a press conference that the new show is expected to launch in the second half of this year, marking the end of the 'Symphony of Lights' after over 20 years. The government is considering organizing a farewell event for the iconic show.
Lo explained that significantly altering the 'Symphony of Lights' would require extensive discussions with participating buildings, which could be inefficient. In contrast, the new light show offers flexibility in changing its content and can be tailored to various festive occasions, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and Halloween. The Tourism Board is exploring the possibility of hosting the show at The Peak to enhance the appeal of traditional attractions. Lo noted that the show will not be held nightly, which could increase tourist interest. Details regarding the cost will be provided by the Tourism Board at a later date.
Lo also highlighted the strong performance of Hong Kong's tourism industry last year, with nearly 50 million visitors, a 12% increase from the previous year. Non-mainland visitors rose by 15%. During the recent Mainland China Spring Festival Golden Week, approximately 1.77 million tourists visited Hong Kong, a 14% increase compared to the same period last year. It is projected that the total number of visitors to Hong Kong this year will reach 53.8 million, an 8% rise from last year.#HongKong #tourism #lightshow #SymphonyOfLights #budgetproposal #culturalinitiatives #tourismgrowth #ThePeak #festiveevents #visitorincrease
