Sa Sa International (HKG:0178) expects an attributable profit of between HK$48.5 million and HK$50.5 million for the six months ended Sept. 30, up 50% to 56% from HK$32.4 million a year prior, a Monday Hong Kong bourse filing said.

The beauty retailer attributed the forecast to an improved local footfall amid a rise in tourist arrivals in core markets, a rise in the number of transactions and sales in Hong Kong and Macau, and a focus on developing its online business.
