While exact details for the second round of the campaign have not yet been released, a total of 20,000 seats will be made available this time round – double that of the first stage of the programme. The Free Tour programme aims to boost the local economy by giving free Hong Kong tours to local residents who spend a certain amount at brick-and-mortar retailers and dining outlets. Meanwhile, the HKTB is preparing to launch the second round of the Free Tour programme once bans on local tours are lifted. “We have seen good traction and pick-up for this package – which covers the Easter period – with very positive bookings at the hotel,” said president of Wharf Hotels, Jennifer Cronin.
