KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 19 -- The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) have collaborated to welcome the launch of the Hong Kong-Singapore Air Travel Bubble (ATB), ahead of the departure of the first flights on Nov 22.
The Hong Kong-Singapore Air Travel Bubble – a bilateral, all-purpose and quarantine-free arrangement – is a milestone for the global tourism industry, paving the way for a safe resumption of international travel.
The HKTB and STB partnership - the first between the tourism boards - demonstrates the close ties between the two destinations as well as a mutual commitment to provide visitors with a safe travel experience.
Expressing excitement over the travel resumption between Hong Kong and Singapore, HKTB Executive Director Dane Cheng said in a statement that it was a “hugely important moment” showing the world that safe international travel was possible.
“We are confident Hong Kong is clean and ready to welcome visitors back. What’s more, we have laid on a selection of amazing offers for our visitors, including hotels and attractions, a diverse selection of travel experiences, and incredible value-for-money deals.”
The HKTB has rolled out the Anti-Epidemic Hygiene Measures Certification Scheme to ensure that every touch point of visitors’ journey is covered with anti-epidemic measures.
STB Chief Executive Officer Keith Tan said: “The Air Travel Bubble is a significant milestone that demonstrates the deep connections and close friendship between Singapore and Hong Kong.”
With the ATB, both cities are ready to shower visitors with a series of compelling experiences. Hong Kong will welcome the winter holidaymakers from Singapore with its renowned sparkling Christmas celebrations.
