Dijk and Weitkamp address the popular assumption that before 1997, heritage had been of little interest to Hong Kong's governments. This negligence was explained by the fact that Hong Kong's population was growing exponentially through several waves of large-scale immigration, while being under an obviously temporary British government. This resulted in a heterogeneous population which had just migrated there and was more concerned about access to housing, employment and transportation than the history of the lands they were about to inhabit. Today, heritage is a growing interest and appears to be a considerable driver for tourism, both in a policy sense and in an economic sense.
