The region is trying to become a “magnet” again for tourists after the lifting of Covid travel restrictions.
Hong Kong is giving away 500,000 tickets worth 250 million euros. In this way, the Chinese Special Administrative Region hopes to restore the pandemic's massive impact on the tourism industry.
Air ticket distribution will begin on March 1, according to Euronews.
Before the pandemic, in 2019, 56 people visited Hong Kong million tourists, that's seven times its population. But due to strict restrictions related to Covid-19, the tourism sector and the economy of the special region have been in crisis for the past three years.
We previously reported that the administration of President Joe Biden announced the lifting of the state of emergency due to Covid-19 from May 11th. Restrictions will be lifted almost three years after the introduction of measures to curb the spread of the disease in the United States.
