PRESS RELEASE 新聞稿 Date: 31 May 2021 Total page: 1 New Round of “Spend-to-Redeem Free Tours” Open for Registration Tomorrow The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) is rolling out a new round of the “Spend-to-Redeem Free Tours” programme, with registration opening tomorrow (1 June). About 190 itineraries, designed by various local tour operators, are available in the new round, which will be uploaded to the HKTB’s programme website in two batches. Starting from tomorrow, members of the public can choose from the first batch of about 130 itineraries and register directly with the tour operators. The first batch of itineraries uploaded cover a wide range of themes and experiences, including the Scenic Harbour, Lively Culture, Gastro-Fantasies, Endless Entertainment, Neighbourhoods and Family Fun. On top of local attractions, the itineraries include workshops related to gourmet food and handicrafts, fishing and farming activities, as well as pet-friendly experience. Half-day tours include at least two points of interests and one meal, many of which offer a hotel buffet, seafood tasting on an outlying island, or other delicacies (see appendix). Members of the public can register for a local tour with machine-printed receipt(s) after spending HK$800 or more at local retail and dining outlets. Registered participants are required to submit the receipt(s) to the tour operator and pay a deposit of HK$100 per person (to be returned on the day of the tour). To meet the government’s latest anti-pandemic requirements, all participating tour operators are required to sign the Anti-epidemic Undertakings for Local Tours.
