Reversing Hong Kong\u2019s image when it comes to travel<\/span><\/h2>\n

While most of the world was closed for business due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hong Kong was notorious as being one of the strictest places for travel and entry restirctions. It was both slow and cautious in its approach, and traveling in and out of the city was made challenging and expensive. Travelers had to put up with strict quarantine rules, which was 21 days of isolation at its peak, and multiple PCR tests – something that obviously didn\u2019t fly well with most visitors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, it wasn\u2019t just foreign tourists that were put off. A sizable percentage of Hong Kong\u2019s expat population, many of whom felt trapped by the city\u2019s policies, decided to leave. By the time Hong Kong showed signs of opening up and ending quarantine, many felt it was too late. It\u2019s in this context that Hong Kong decided it needed a campaign to boost foreign arrival numbers and revive its image as one of Asia\u2019s most dynamic cities. The solution? Airline tickets giveaway!<\/span><\/p>\n

Head to the \u201cWorld of Winners\u201d page on March 1st, 2023<\/span><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s move on to the important info: how to enter! You\u2019ll need to head to the <\/span>World of Winners<\/span><\/a> website starting March 1st to enter your name into the flight ticket lottery. The tickets will then be allocated in waves according to where you\u2019re based: Southeast Asia (from March 1st), mainland China (from April 1st), the rest of the world (from May 1st), and last, but not least, Hong Kong (from July 1st).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There’ll be 500,000 free airline tickets up for grab across <\/span>Cathay Pacific<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>HK Express<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Hong Kong Airlines<\/span><\/a>. Costing the Hong Kong government approximately HKD $254.8 million in total, this large-scale giveaway is part of the \u201cHello Hong Kong\u201d initiative that was unveiled last week but has been in the making for over two years. Stay tuned for more exciting information by keeping an eye on the <\/span>World of Winners<\/span><\/a> website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
