The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) is preparing to host its much-anticipated tourism mission to India after a hiatus of three years. This big event happens every year to reestablish partnerships between these two tourism destinations.

The highlight of this marquee event is the participation of a delegation comprising 28 esteemed members from Hong Kong's travel industry. Land operators, hotels, airlines, cruise companies, and family-friendly attractions are among the members. Notable names on the list are Ocean Park Hong Kong, Hong Kong Disneyland, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, Ngong Ping 360, and LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Hong Kong, among others.

The Hong Kong delegation is all set to engage in impactful business sessions with their Indian trade counterparts across three major Indian cities. The journey begins in Bengaluru on Tuesday, August 22nd. Then, Mumbai follows on Wednesday, August 23rd, and New Delhi on Friday, August 25th. [The reason for these planned meet-ups is to build strong relationships, especially in important areas like the growing leisure market, exciting fly-cruise choices, and the dynamic Meetings and Incentive (M&I) industry.] 

The major focus of the event is on the diverse experiences that Hong Kong provides for Indian travellers and a 14-day visa-free travel opportunity for Indian passport holders, which simplifies the exploration of Hong Kong.

Moreover, the trade mission aims to draw attention to the enhanced flight capacity from various Indian cities to Hong Kong. This expansion in flight options translates into greater flexibility and convenience for Indian travellers looking to embark on their Hong Kong adventures.

This event goes beyond a mere networking opportunity; it embodies the spirit of collaboration between two dynamic travel landscapes. As the Hong Kong Tourism Board and India come together, they pave the way for exciting possibilities in travel, leisure, and exploration.

In essence, this event marks the revival of a valued partnership and signifies the seamless connection between Hong Kong and India. It’s not just about business; it’s about igniting the travel spirit within Indian travellers. From family attractions to awe-inspiring destinations and cultural exploration, Hong Kong promises a world of adventure that's now more accessible than ever.
