From its dynamic skyline and legendary street food to peaceful nature trails and shopping havens, Hong Kong offers something for every type of traveler. As travel demand from the MENA region surges, especially during the summer and holiday periods, this partnership enables us to inspire more people to rediscover Asia's World City through tailored content, exclusive deals, and seamless travel planning."
The partnership will include co-branded digital campaigns, influencer collaborations, and targeted storytelling to highlight Hong Kong's diverse offerings from traditional temples and bustling night markets to Disneyland, luxury stays, and sustainable travel experiences.
