“Search trends and social media posts suggest a move away from traditional “must-see” attractions such as Victoria Peak and theme parks, towards more niche, experience-led itineraries.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided for this claim consists only of general Wikipedia entries about 'Mainland' and 'Victoria Peak,' which do not contain information about shifting tourist trends or social media analysis. Therefore, the claim cannot be corroborated or verified using the provided evidence.

“Popular routes now include “citywalk”-style plans through Central, combining heritage sites like Tai Kwun with cafes, galleries and nearby dining spots.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While one web search result mentions a 'Central Heritage Trail' (Route C), the evidence provided does not contain enough independent sources or detailed information (like combining heritage sites with cafes/galleries) to confirm that this specific 'citywalk' style is a popular, modern tourist trend. The other web search results are irrelevant (Bishkek walking tour).

“Detailed itineraries often map out entire days with stops for food, exhibitions and scenic views, rather than focusing on a single destination.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results provided for this claim are general travel itinerary ideas for Turkey, Vienna, and Antigua and Barbuda. None of these sources specifically confirm that modern detailed itineraries in Hong Kong (or any location) are shifting to plan entire days with stops for food, exhibitions, and scenic views, making the claim unsupportable by the evidence.

“Even transport experiences have become attractions in themselves, with “sunset bus” routes and harbourfront walks recommended for their views.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results show examples of bus routes (SMRT Service 963) and general advice on public transport, but they do not contain any information or recommendations confirming that 'sunset bus' routes or harbourfront walks are specifically being marketed or recommended as attractions themselves in the context of Hong Kong tourism.
