24-26 October 2023 at the JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong and focused on the theme of ‘Rebuilding Asia Cruising Together’. During the event, the HKTB was able to pursue a multitude of initiatives to entice more cruise brands to deploy more ships in Hong Kong, with its role as host signalling the city’s openness to the industry. Delegates were able to enjoy first-hand the energy and experiences the city has to offer in range of pre- and post-event familiarisation tours and social programmes. Visitors were also invited by the HKTB to an outdoor gastronomic experience at the city’s Wine & Dine Festival. Hong Kong’s location within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area also offers a range of opportunities for cruise companies. With the unique advantages of the city’s position in the Greater Bay Area, cruise companies are able to develop products targeted at visitors from cities in Southern Mainland China. The city is connected to the region via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Cruise lines will make more than 160 cruise calls in Hong Kong during 2023 25
