#TravelPH - Hong Kong Welcomes International Tourists with Air Tickets Giveaway!
The "World of Winners" worldwide air ticket giveaway campaign, which Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) is launching, will give away 500,000 free tickets in Hong Kong's main passenger markets to encourage tourists to visit the city and take advantage of its distinctive attractions.
The campaign will begin in March 2023 with the distribution of approximately 135,000 tickets in Southeast Asian markets, including the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia. The distribution will be done in stages by Hong Kong's three domestic airlines: Cathay Pacific Airways, Hong Kong Express, and Hong Kong Airlines. A total of 30,000 tickets will be distributed to Filipino citizens starting on March 3 as part of promotional operations by the three airlines. Following Southeast Asia, the campaign will also target markets in Northeast Asia, Mainland China, and other regions.
Tickets given away in the “World of Winners'' campaign are all round-trip economy-class tickets. Travelers who get the free tickets will also receive from AAHK’s business partners special offers for hotel accommodation, shopping, and entertainment in Hong Kong.
“Hong Kong has fully opened up and we are eager to welcome visitors from different parts of the world. Travelers visiting Hong Kong are no longer required to have received Covid-19 vaccination, or undergo testing or quarantine upon arrival. And from today wearing a face mask is no longer mandatory in Hong Kong. At Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), the terminal has been extensively refurbished, with various new services and facilities providing passengers a brand new airport experience,” says Vivian Cheung, Chief Operating Officer of AAHK.
AAHK has spared no effort in improving the airport’s facilities to further enhance passenger experience. Sky Bridge, the world’s longest airside footbridge measuring 200-metre long, offers stunning views of the apron. The luxury shopping zone at Terminal 1 has been renovated, housing over 40 renowned brands and three new iconic duplex stores. Smart technologies have been extensively applied to different aspects of the airport’s service. For example, facial recognition technology is adopted in the entire departure process to provide passengers a seamless and hassle-free departure journey without the need of repeatedly producing documents for checking.
The free tickets were sponsored by AAHK in 2020 as part of a package of relief measures for Hong Kong’s aviation industry during the pandemic. Through the sponsorship AAHK provided liquidity support to the home-based carriers upfront, with a plan for airlines to use the tickets for promoting traffic recovery when the pandemic subsides.
HKIA is one of the busiest airports in the world and an international aviation hub, connecting with over 220 destinations worldwide by over 120 airlines. HKIA is also conveniently connected to the Greater Bay Area in Mainland China through land and sea transports.
