Spotlight on... Hong Kong Incentive Travel

20 March 2018

Hong Kong is a bustling, cosmopolitan metropolis surrounded by mountains and sea. The city is Asia’s flagship financial centre, and enjoys a unique economic relationship with both China’s booming markets and the UK.

Everyone visits Hong Kong for conferences and meetings, but it’s also well known as one of the world’s best incentive travel destination.

With its stunning harbour, incredible hotels, buzzing nightlife and unique experiences around every corner, it's easy to see why.

Join us for a closer look at the very best of Hong Kong incentive travel…

Transport

The third busiest international airport in the world, Hong Kong International is best reached from the UK via London Heathrow – Hong Kong incentive travel groups can fly with BA, Virgin Atlantic and others.

Transport around Hong Kong is easy. Taxis, minibus services and private ferries to major hotels can be pre-booked. Public transport offers a far-reaching network of buses, trams and trains.

Where to Go & What to Do

From mountains to the harbour, and from the buzz of the Hong Kong Sevens to the passion and energy of the Dragon Boat Carnival, our must-have experiences for Hong Kong incentive travel visitors include:     

  • Sport – The Hong Kong Open and New World Harbour Race are great, and Happy Valley Racecourse is a must-visit. The Hong Kong Sevens is the sporting highlight though – three days of fast-paced matches as the whole city comes alive with a buzzing carnival atmosphere.
  • Spectacle – Summer visitors could centre a trip around the Dragon Boat Carnival (Tuen Ng) – a heart-pumping display of colour and competition complete with food trucks and cold beer. Chinese New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival are also unique Hong Kong experiences.
  • The Harbour – Victoria Harbour is Hong Kong’s most famous panorama. Many of Hong Kong’s best incentive travel hotels and venues are on the harbourside – and night cruises on the harbour with cocktails and live music are an unforgettable incentive travel experience.
  • Victoria Peak – Hong Kong incentive travel groups can book private tram cars with drinks and catering to make the 1,200 ft climb up the city’s tallest mountain (on the world's steepest funicular railway). Finish with drinks and breathtaking360-degree views at the Sky Terrace 428.

Restaurants & Bars

Hong Kong’s Amber at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental was #24 in 2017’s ‘50 Best Restaurants in the World’ list. Two other restaurants (8 ½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA – the only three-Michelin-starred Italian restaurant outside Italy, and Lung King Heen at the Four Seasons HK) featured in the top 100.

Treat your group to an evening at J Boroski, where all cocktails are created on the spot to suit guests’ tastes, go top-end at Bar De Luxe from legendary bartender Hidetsugu Ueno (from Tokyo’s Bar High Five), or seek out the quiet and meticulous mixology of Tsim Sha Tsui’s Butler.

Hotels

Hong Kong boasts unreal hotels for incentive travel groups of all sizes and to suit all budgets. Our picks include…

  • The Grand Hyatt HK: Reopened in 2017 after a four-year, multi-million-pound renovation, this is a breathtaking option for Hong Kong incentive travel. A prime waterfront location, commanding views of the harbour, and exceptional extras in the Plateau Spa and in-house restaurant One Harbour Road.
  • The Langham HK: An Inconnection favourite, The Langham is a gem located in the buzzing heart of the commercial and entertainment district of Tsim Sha Tsui. A sense of old-world luxury to both the décor and service a sophisticated oasis in the heart of the modern city.
  • Ovolo Central: Perched above Lan Kwai Fong, the bustling heart of central Hong Kong – ideal for Hong Kong incentive travel groups. Great for keeping a rein on budgets too, with extras (gym, breakfast, laundry, drinks at the Lo Lounge, minibar in rooms etc) all included in the room rate.
