Media reports create a sense of fear for Hong Kong travel. Quite the contrary in reality! Hong Kong remains a must-visit destination that you have to include this year.
Yes, there are protests. Yes, there are incidents within those protest areas. However, it is contained in those pre-determined places. It is either approved by the city, in which case you’ll read about it in the news ahead of the event or it is online chatter that you can find out from your hotel before you go out.
The safest area is Central and the tourist attractions have remained untouched including The Peak, Disneyland, Ocean Park, Big Buddha, and the Star Ferry as well as hiking trails and parks.
If you have been to Hong Kong before, you will now notice fewer crowds and hoards of tourists. While that is disheartening in such a great city that should be appreciated, it also means shorter lines! Now is your chance to head up The Peak, get to Disneyland and Ocean Park, and discover the Big Buddha.
Fewer crowds and travelers also give you the opportunity to score those hard-to-get reservations. Try to make your bookings directly with the restaurants or have your hotel concierge assist you.
Look out for luxury hotel offers. Now is your chance to jump at great promos from these incredible properties that you only dreamed of staying.
While airlines are cutting flights to Hong Kong, many other airlines are also promoting great deals and airfares for direct flights even on Business Class. Now is your chance to fly comfortably to HK!
