Efforts of Hong Kong Convention Ambassadors Bearing Fruit

Since the launch of Hong Kong Convention Ambassador programme, more than 100 distinguished leaders of business and professional bodies in Hong Kong have joined forces with the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) to promote the city as the premier choice for regional and global meetings, incentive trips, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) events.
