Most importantly, it’s strategically situated in the heart of Asia and the gateway to mainland China.”“It’s exciting to return and see first-hand the city’s new future-proof developments of infrastructure and venues, as well as explore the enormous business opportunities brought by the Greater Bay Area, which includes Macao and nine cities in Guangdong Province.”

Hong Kong has relaxed its Covid entry rules and is ready to welcome the world’s travellers, with no requirement for international travellers to undergo hotel quarantine.
