Enhance Your Clients’ Transit Experience with HKG’s Free Layover Tours

HKG is offering free tours for passengers with long layovers.

Travel advisors can turn a negative into a positive by offering free tours to clients with a long layover in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), in partnership with Trip.com, is offering a value-added service for your international clients: complimentary four-hour sightseeing tours for transit passengers with layovers of 7 hours or more.

This initiative allows advisors to position Hong Kong not just as a hub, but as a destination in itself, giving travellers an enriching stopover experience at no additional cost. The tours also make for a refreshing break during a long journey.

Available Tours (for immediate booking):

Heritage & Local Lifestyle Citywalk

Visit Wong Tai Sin Temple and explore Sham Shui Po for a taste of authentic Hong Kong culture.

Victoria & West Kowloon Waterfront Journey

Experience the West Kowloon Cultural District and enjoy spectacular views of Victoria Harbour.

Coming December 2025:

Serenity & Stories: A Harmony Journey 
A new countryside tour highlighting Hong Kong’s natural landscapes and rural traditions.

Hong Kong International Airport.

Program Highlights:

• Free of charge for international transit passengers (7+ hour layover at HKIA).

• All-inclusive: transportation, entry tickets, and English-speaking guides.

• Fast-track re-entry to the airport ensures smooth continuation of onward travel.

• Flexible booking via Trip.com app, website, or directly at HKIA transit counters.
