    DEGREE of DOCTOR of BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, Honoris Causa

    DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, honoris causa Dr the Honourable Allan Zeman, GBM, GBS, JP Mr Pro-Chancellor, It was fifty years ago when Neil Armstrong and the crew of Apollo 11 embarked on the ambitious space mission to the Moon; millions watched with bated breath as he stepped out of the spacecraft and left the first human footprints in lunar soil. To Dr Allan Zeman, his decision to leave his life in Canada behind and move to Hong Kong was akin to flying to the Moon—an undertaking that most would consider unimaginable at that time. By virtue of his abiding hardiness, however, Dr Zeman was not run down by fear of the unknown, and instead stayed resilient and positive against all challenges throughout his subsequent professional and public life. Now a revered figure in the tourism and hospitality industry of Hong Kong and brand builder extraordinaire in Asia, the brave explorer has indubitably left his mark in the larger fabric of Hong Kong’s history. As a young man growing up in Montreal, Canada, Dr Zeman was already determined to cut a different path than his peers. Losing his father at seven, he entered the workforce at a very young age, starting out as a paper boy and restaurant waiter. Before turning 20, he had started his own fashion business and made his first million US dollars. With the boom in Hong Kong’s manufacturing industry during the 1960s and ’70s, his business had brought him to this city for the very first time. Despite the language barrier and cultural differences, Dr Zeman was captivated by the city’s can-do spirit and vibrant energy.
