The Airport Authority Hong Kong is giving away 30,000 tickets for free to residents in the Philippines, Hong Kong’s fourth largest tourist market, starting March 3 this year.
“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,” said Vivian Cheung, chief operating officer of AAHK.
“And from today wearing a face mask is no longer mandatory in Hong Kong. At Hong Kong International Airport, the terminal has been extensively refurbished, with various new services and facilities providing passengers a brand new airport experience,” she said. Hong Kong targets to restore 80 percent of its tourists arrivals by end of the year and 100 percent by 2024.
Distributed in phases by Hong Kong’s three home-based airlines: Cathay Pacific Airways, Hong Kong Express, and Hong Kong Airlines, the campaign is kicking off in March by giving away some 135,000 tickets in Southeast Asian markets, including the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia.
