BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

Hot on the heels of the annual Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) launched Hong Kong Gourmet Month, an extension of the iconic food and beverage event, as a way to keep the top-tier gastronomy experience in full swing. The campaign features five themed dining experiences, ranging from star-rated dining, neighbourhood delicacies and distinctive drinks to authentic local late-night bites. In addition, participants in the Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival can enjoy more than 250 additional exclusive privileges across the city with the Gourmet Month Privilege Card distributed at the venue.

Dr Peter Lam, Chairman of HKTB, said, “The ‘Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival’ has drawn to a successful close, attracting visitors from around the world as well as locals, and fully showcasing Hong Kong’s appeal as an international culinary capital. The ‘Hong Kong Gourmet Month’ now takes the benefits of the Festival further, extending them across the city. We hope the campaign will give locals and visitors alike even more reasons to explore our neighbourhoods and its vibrant food and beverage scene.”
