Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is hosting a World of Winners campaign which will giveaway 500,000 free tickets to visitors from all around the world. As part of this campaign, residents in the UAE, India, Bangladesh and Nepal will be offered over 5,000 round-trip flight tickets to Hong Kong.
The initiative is in support of the Hong Kong Tourism Board’s ‘Hello Hong Kong’ campaign to welcome tourists to the city.
Over 5,590 tickets will be offered to residents of these selected countries. Offers from over 16,000 outlets across the city have been put together by the tourism board to welcome visitors back post-pandemic.
As part of the first stage of the offers, around one million ‘Hong Kong Goodies’ will be available covering a complimentary welcome drink at participating outlets, restaurants and hotels. A cash voucher will also be available to be redeemed in the sectors of transportation, culinary and retail sectors.
The way the campaign offers can be availed is by being a Cathay Pacific member by signing up for a free membership on the airline’s official website. Members will then be able to register for the lucky draw using their Cathay Pacific membership details.
Only one entry can be submitted per person and the winners will be announced on the campaign website.
The campaign is set to start on May 22 and will conclude on May 28.
Winners will be announced on June 7 and the tickets have to be redeemed before July 6 for a travel period starting June 7 until March 6, 2024.
Rakesh Raicar, Cathay Pacific’s Regional General Manager for South Asia, Middle East and Africa said “As a leading airline in the region, we are proud to welcome visitors to experience the very best of Hong Kong. Hong Kong has something for everyone – cultural immersion for solo travellers, the best theme parks for families and an effervescent nightlife for groups of friends. All of this is supported by excellent airport facilities and infrastructure making the travel experience seamless. Through this campaign, we hope our customers will get an exciting chance to hop onto our flights and immerse themselves in the vibrant culture and varied experiences Hong Kong has to offer.”
Puneet Kumar, Director, South Asia and Middle East of Hong Kong Tourism Board said, “We are thrilled to welcome our visitors from around the world to enjoy all the new and refreshed experiences around our incredible city. Visitors will be delighted to rediscover Hong Kong’s unique local culture, international culinary scene, immersive experiences and urban metropolis enveloped in beautiful natural landscapes such as beaches, islands, mountains, and hiking trails.”
Vivian Cheung, Chief Operation Officer of Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) said, “As part of the relief package for Hong Kong’s aviation industry during the pandemic, AAHK provided liquidity support to the home-based carriers in 2020 by sponsoring air tickets in advance. The air tickets will be used to promote traffic recovery when the pandemic subsides. Hong Kong has opened up and we are eager to welcome visitors from different parts of the world. Various new services and facilities are ready at HKIA and we are looking forward to providing passengers a brand new airport experience.”
