Agents paint the town red in Hong Kong

Hong Kong Tourism Board and Cathay Pacific Airways recently hosted 19 Australian and New Zealand members of the industry for an eye-opening famil.

The group, which comprised of wholesalers, retailers and special interest agents, joined the crew for Contract Hong Kong, which ran from June 13-17 2015.

On the five-day familiarisation, these buyers discovered the latest tourism products and explored business opportunities with over 90 Hong Kong suppliers on Contracting Day.

To showcase the latest Hong Kong offerings, the group experienced new tours including “New Territories Culture Tour” and “The Heart of Hong Kong”; saw the new “Adventures in Australia” exhibition at Ocean Park and watched the new “Paint the Night Parade” at Hong Kong Disneyland.
