Our Hong Kong Foundation (OHKF) held the Insight Forum, entitled Beyond Borders: Redefining Travel for Meaningful Impact, on 14 June, inviting Eric Gnock Fah, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of Klook, as the keynote speaker. He unveiled his insights into how travel could become a force for good and discuss how the potential of travel could enrich not only travelers but also the destinations they visit. 

In the opening remarks, Bernard Chan, Chairman of OHKF, regarded the downturn in the tourism industry in Hong Kong in the post-pandemic era as one of the most pressing issues. He quoted that the advice of the retail industry for the Hong Kong government to cooperate with mainland China for boosting the local retail and hospitality. According to him, holding cultural and sports mega events possibly could increase the frequency and duration of the visitors’ stays, which would largely benefit the full resurgence of the local tourism industry.
