We ask Hong Kong Tourism Board how to learn more about selling this bustling city.
How can travel agents improve their knowledge of Hong Kong?
Our trade website, PartnerNet — http://partnernet.hktb.com/au, is the travel industry’s one-stop shop for all things Hong Kong with industry news, e-newsletter, Hong Kong industry contacts, tour planning and much more.
What kind of training is available to Australian agents wanting to sell Hong Kong and how can they sign up for it?
We have recently revamped our online training programme, Hong Kong Specialist Club — http://specialisthk.com/au, dedicated to the travel trade and it’s free to register. Once you have completed the training, you will be able to enjoy exclusive benefits such as complimentary welcome kits on arrival in Hong Kong, use of the Hong Kong Specialist logo, access to special trade offers and go into the draw to win a place on a famil.
Any recommendations for first time travellers?
The Peak and the Peak tram are still one of the most popular attractions for Aussie travellers and offers panoramic views of the city and Victoria Harbour. Hong Kong has an advanced public transport network — MTR, trams, Star Ferry, buses — which is convenient for the first-timers to explore the city easily and cheaply. One of the quintessential dining experiences in Hong Kong is sampling delicious dim sum for brunch/lunch at a Cantonese restaurant.
What makes Hong Kong a unique destination?
The duality of this modern city — east/west, urban/natural, traditional/modern — offers visitors a diverse and exciting experience. Whether it’s dining, shopping, sightseeing activities, or culture, Asia’s World City has something for everyone.
How can travel agents join a famil to Hong Kong?
Register and complete the three quiz-like modules on Hong Kong Specialist Club — http://specialisthk.com/au and you’ll go into the draw to win a place on a famil for this October!
