Hong Kong is offering free flights for travellers to enjoy throughout 2023 in a bid to boost tourism.

Hong Kong’s tourism board will give away half a million free plane tickets this year to encourage travellers to visit the region. Information about the free tickets was unveiled earlier this year by Hong Kong’s leader John Lee Ka-chiu, as part of the ‘Hello Hong Kong’ campaign which is said to be costing the region HK$2 billion (£212 million) to run.

Due to the pandemic and civil unrest, Hong Kong has struggled with tourism so the new campaign has been introduced in a bid to encourage holidaymakers to consider the destination.
