Destination
When it comes to achievements, Hong Kong has an impressive variety: it is the world's 8th largest trading entity, the 6th largest holder of foreign currency reserves and it has one of the world's freest economies. It is one of Asia's most popular tourist destinations and probably has the highest number of restaurants per head of population in the world. Its hotels are regularly included in the "Top Ten" lists and it has the world's busiest container port, the longest suspension bridge, the largest per head fleet of Rolls Royces and one of the world's lowest taxation rates.
Hong Kong is a city where a stockbroker might light incense at a shrine while preparing for the world's market to open; where elderly citizens practice the graceful art of tai chi in city parks, oblivious to the rush of the passing traffic. Hong Kong is a world-famous shoppers' paradise, where goods are often found at prices lower than in the product's country of origin. The territory's compactness and integrated above- and below ground transport systems mean territory-wide mobility, while leading hotels set new standards of service, comfort and luxury.
Were Hong Kong merely an economic miracle full of hard-working and harder-playing people, it would be a fascinating enough destination. But this is a culturally rich city as well; a place where people from all over China mingle with Europeans, Americans, Asians, Africans and Australians.
It is a place where more than 6,000 years of Chinese culture have been woven into 150 years of colonial rule, producing a fascinating city of contrasts. Where centuries-old temples proudly stand next to futuristic neon-topped skyscrapers. Where only a short ferry, bus or train ride from the excitement of the city will carry you to tranquil peaks and South China Sea islands.
Marvellously compact, backed by a cutting-edge infrastructure and a worldly outlook, Hong Kong has never looked so good, performed so well, or been a more exciting place to visit.

Theme Party Ideas for Incentives
Colonial Ball
Hong Kong is a collection of fishing villages when claimed as a crown colony by Britain in 1841. At that time it was described as a "barren rock", much to the amusement of today's property barons. Having a colonial, historical background and a tight link with the mainland China, it is a place where East meets West. The cultural and economic differences between the East and the West contributed to the differentiation of the growth model between Hong Kong and other countries. Hong Kong always shows an exciting scene and is an economic entity, which has been developed with magic and pride.
The venue will be transformed into the OLD Hong Kong – we will see runners pulling rickshaws, beautiful Chinese girls in Chinese Hand Embroidery Cheongsam QiPao, smart Chinese guys who have their hair in a queue (braided into a long ponytail) and dressed in Western style suits, stalls set up selling all sorts of Chinese arts & crafts…… A Hong Kong Police Band plays the background music and welcomes every guest.
Night Horse Racing
Join thousands of fans as they cheer for their favorites, while enjoying a night out with dinner in an elegant and upscale trackside racing box, with balcony amidst the stars and skyscrapers and breathtaking views of the racecourse. Meanwhile, advanced visual and audio equipment as well as betting services are within your easy reach. There's nothing else like it!
Pearl of the Orient, Hong Kong
Host at a private club - The China Club, where the decorations will bring back the old charm of a traditional Chinese teahouse, with solid back-wood furniture and comfortable, deep armchairs in freshly starched covers. All the floors, which are highly polished oak boards and the lighting, including overhead electric fans are reminiscent of the 30’s in Shanghai. Everyone (dressed in Chinese Costumes with Chinese paper fans or colorful feather boas) will enjoy the superb selection of cuisine (with everything that embodies the traditional Chinese food found over Hong Kong) as well as the Chinese Orchestra music.
Pirates on Victoria Harbour
Have the ultimate Hong Kong experience, soak up its history and be enraptured by the intoxiacting Victoria Harbour views and skyline. Enjoy the breeze on Aqua Luna, a 92-foot exclusive Chinese junk, which is known as ”Cheung Po Tsai” in Cantonese; named after a famous pirate in Hong Kong. Everyone will be dressed in pirate costumes and will enjoy delicious canapés + refreshing cocktails.
Keeping the Sun, Beach & Fun in a Healthy Chinese Way at Oceanfront Alfresco
Start with relaxing Tai Chi, playing sports or simply having champagne or cocktails with soft music playing in the background on a private beach - Tai Pak Beach at Discovery Bay, where is 20 minutes ferry ride from the city centre. Follow with a herbal Chinese foot massage at the beach before enjoying a Fiesta Party at the largest oceanfront alfresco dining hotspot in Hong Kong, which offers a spacious environment. We we can charter the over 20 thematic restaurants along the promenade connecting to the Tai Pak Beach. Just imagine …… a stunning sunset, a frozen margarita, savour the mouthwatering cuisine from around the world and enjoy the breathtaking sea views and the nightly Disneyland fireworks at D Deck. This is the ideal place to switch off from the stress of the city.
