The Hong Kong Tourism Board plans to bring together city ticket-stub offers organised and promoted by the board on Discover Hong Kong. It also plans ticket-stub offers for the Wine & Dine Festival and will hold Hong Kong Gourmet Month in November, the Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism said during a Legislative Council debate on October 8.
The platform is intended to help event organisers connect with retail, catering and tourism associations, and will provide a one-stop contact service.
Kowloon West legislator Vincent Cheng Wing-shun urged the board to move quickly and launch an app, saying merchants lacked a unified platform and were working on their own. He said merchants promoting ticket-stub offers had seen business growth of 10 to 20 per cent or more.
