Of the 500,000 free tickets for tourists around the world, 80,000 are round-trip tickets for Southeast Asia, including 8,800 for the Vietnamese market. The program is part of the "Hello Hong Kong" campaign, welcoming tourists back after Hong Kong completely lifted restrictions.
The program for Vietnamese tourists runs from 12:00 on March 17 to 23:59 on March 23 (local time). To receive tickets, you need to register as a Cathay Pacific airline member. Members visit the campaign launch website, log in and answer three questions. The prize will be awarded to up to 8,800 participants with correct answers. Each member can only submit an answer once.
The results will be announced on the campaign website on April 4. Winners will receive an email with details on how to redeem their prize.

Raymond Chan, Director of Southeast Asia at the Hong Kong Tourism Board, said Hong Kong is ready to welcome tourists from Southeast Asia. In the initial phase of opening, tourists will receive many incentives.
"I believe that visitors will enjoy a unique travel experience. The city has many vibrant activities with diverse cultures and attractive services," said Mr. Raymond Chan.
"Now that Hong Kong is fully open, it is a pleasure to welcome visitors from all over the world again," said Vivian Cheung, chief executive of the Hong Kong Airport Authority, adding that Hong Kong International Airport will welcome visitors with many new services and facilities.
In the race to welcome international visitors back, the Hong Kong Tourism Board and more than 16,000 local tourism and hotel industry partners have launched incentives to attract tourists. In addition to free air tickets, visitors to Hong Kong in the first phase of reopening will also receive free drinks at bars, restaurants, hotels or discount vouchers for transportation, dining, shopping, and sightseeing tickets.
