Hong Kong Tourism Board launches new tourism campaign to shows global audience the Best of Hong Kong
Hong Kong Tourism Board has launched a new global marketing campaign titled 'Best of All, It's in Hong Kong' to highlight the rich diversity and quality of experience that the city has to offers to visitors from around the world; through four videos starring local personalities and the city's stunning skyline and scenery to showcase the very best of Hong Kong.
The videos bring out Hong Kong's four diverse areas of appeal: Gourmet Dining, Fashion and Entertainment, Family Adventures by land, sea and sky, and the Great Outdoors – all introduced by locals who know Hong Kong best.
Three-star Michelin chef Umberto Bombana gives viewers a mouth-watering taste of Hong Kong's culinary delights; designer Anais Mak offers a tour of the best fashion and hipster hangouts with the help of her superstar friend singer-actor Eason Chan; actor and pilot Michael Wong takes the controls of a helicopter for a family adventure above the city; and movie star Sean Lau takes viewers out into Hong Kong's breath-taking natural scenery.
The launch of the campaign comes at a time when, despite challenging market conditions, international arrivals in Hong Kong have sustained their growth with continuous expansion in arrivals from some Asian markets.
In an exciting new era of tourism, the 'Best of All, It's in Hong Kong' brand campaign will help bring a slice of the city's magic to potential visitors on every continent – and show them the very best of a true destination for all seasons.
