Wendy Wu Tours has announced the return of its popular complimentary three-day Hong Kong stopover, offered in partnership with Hong Kong Tourism Board and available when booking an eligible group tour of 14 days or more.

Events, new attractions and enhanced cruise facilities are all adding to the appeal of Hong Kong for New Zealanders as the destination still has a way to go to reach 2019 figures out of this market.

Infinity Holidays has launched Hong Kong Unlocked: Savour, Stay, Explore! – a new campaign designed to highlight the city’s culinary scene, cultural heritage, accommodation options and activities.

Building on last year’s gains both in terms of its own services and the returning popularity of destination Hong Kong will be a prime objective of Cathay Pacific in the New Zealand market through 2024.

Hong Kong Tourism Board, with partner Cathay Pacific, hosted an intimate ‘reconnection’ event for key trade partners in Auckland recently – with the over-arching message of ‘Hong Kong is back’.

There is no better way for travellers to really experience a destination than to take their lead from the locals.

That’s where a recent resource consolidated by Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) comes in. The ‘Hello Hong Kong – My Best Picks – Most Liked Hong Kong Experiences’ is full of recommendations by Hong Kong’s residents.

Lantau Island provides clients with many opportunities to take interesting walks and explore some 50 towns and villages, each with their own appeal. New Zealanders will particularly enjoy the resort town of Discovery Bay, offering nature, outdoor adventures and fine restaurants only a 25-minute ferry ride from the heart of the city.

The Peak is often dubbed Hong Kong’s must-see attraction.

Even reaching The Peak is an experience in itself. The journey takes approximately six minutes, rises from 33m to 396m above sea level along a 1,278m-long track and is a visually memorable experience as skyscrapers glide past at what appear to be impossible angles.

The islands provide an enjoyable break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

In Hong Kong, many islands are easily accessible by public transport including ferries and offer a range of easy strolls and hikes. As well as better known destinations like Cheung Chau, Lamma Island and Tai O, there are also many other islands that are worth exploring.

Be it cutting-edge dance shows or traditional Chinese music concerts, Hong Kong’s local performance art groups know how to put on an incredible show.

Cantonese Opera performances will be something completely different for most New Zealanders. A great place to experience this is the Xiqu Centre in West Kowloon, home of Cantonese Opera performances. Visitors needn’t be afraid of being completely lost with the story line – many of the performances include English surtitles.
