The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) announced today (3 August) the launch of the “Free Tours Lucky Draw” to support the Government’s “Early Vaccination for All” campaign. The lucky draw will offer the tours from the second round of the “Spend-to-Redeem Free Tours” programme, a total of more than 180 tours, as a reward to vaccinated Hong Kong residents. The giveaway offers about 20,000 quotas in designated local tours, amounting to about HK$10 million in total. Eligible residents can enter the Lucky Draw between 5 August (Thursday) and 31 August (Tuesday) (https://luckydraw.discoverhongkong.com). The winners list will be announced on 10 September 2021.
Dr YK Pang, Chairman of the HKTB, said, “To support the Government’s campaign to encourage vaccinations, the HKTB will roll out a lucky draw to give away free tour quotas from the ‘Spend-toRedeem Free Tours’ programme, which will take the public on a tour of Hong Kong’s scenic attractions and culinary delights, to reward the vaccinated and encourage vaccination while contributing our efforts in fighting the pandemic in Hong Kong and carrying on with our support to the tourism trade through organising local tours.” The HKTB will continue to promote the local ambience and bring impetus to the trade by offering a series of programmes, Dr Pang added.
All Hong Kong ID card-holding residents aged 18 or above by 31 August 2021 with at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine received in Hong Kong are eligible for the Lucky Draw. Participants are required to register on the programme website. About 10,000 winners will be drawn at random, and each winner will be given two quotas to join a designated free tour. All tour participants are required to have taken at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in Hong Kong.
