If you are looking for your next friends or family getaway, this is your sign to book that flight to Hong Kong!
There is a reason Hong Kong remains a favorite holiday destination for Filipinos and this summer, the city is giving us millions of more reasons to return! The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) has officially kicked off its “Hong Kong Summer Fun” campaign, dropping over HK$ 20 million (approximately ₱150 million) worth of retail and dining deals, along with a lineup of events across the city running until August 31.
Here’s a quick cheat sheet of what you can score on your next trip:

Planning a trip is half the fun especially when you can score instant VIP discounts before you even pack your bags! HKTB has teamed up with Trip.com and Ctrip to give away exclusive “Summer Getaway Packs” that slice ticket prices in half.
