Long considered Asia’s vibrant hub, Hong Kong’s tourism industry finds itself at a pivotal moment. As even locals seek more attractive offerings across the border, the city is hard-pressed to step up its game and draw in regional and global visitors.

The path forward requires bold vision and calculated investments. In a challenging market environment, what initiatives would be able to deliver tangible results? Are there existing resources that need to be leveraged better or are major investments needed? What will Hong Kong's tourism industry in 2030 look like and who can help us get there?
