“As a leading airline in the region, we are proud to welcome visitors to experience the very best of Hong Kong. Hong Kong has something for everyone – cultural immersion for solo travellers, the best theme parks for families and an effervescent nightlife for groups of friends. All of this is supported by excellent airport facilities and infrastructure making the travel experience seamless. Through this campaign, we hope our customers will get an exciting chance to hop onto our flights and immerse themselves in the vibrant culture and varied experiences Hong Kong has to offer,” says Rakesh Raicar, Cathay Pacific’s Regional General Manager for South Asia, Middle East and Africa.

“We are thrilled to welcome our visitors from around the world to enjoy all the new and refreshed experiences around our incredible city. Visitors will be delighted to rediscover Hong Kong’s unique local culture, international culinary scene, immersive experiences and urban metropolis enveloped in beautiful natural landscapes such as beaches, islands, mountains, and hiking trails,” says Puneet Kumar, Director, South Asia and Middle East of Hong Kong Tourism Board.

The statement says that at least 1 million “Hong Kong Goodies” vouchers will be available initially. These vouchers can be exchanged for complimentary welcome drinks at participating bars, restaurants and hotels or cash vouchers that can be used for attractions, dining, shopping and transportation.

“As part of the relief package for Hong Kong’s aviation industry during the pandemic, AAHK provided liquidity support to the home-based carriers in 2020 by sponsoring air tickets in advance. The air tickets will be used to promote traffic recovery when the pandemic subsides. Hong Kong has opened up and we are eager to welcome visitors from different parts of the world. Various new services and facilities are ready at HKIA and we are looking forward to providing passengers a brand new airport experience,” says Vivian Cheung, Chief Operation Officer of Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK).
