Hong Kong (AP) — Hong Kong will give away air tickets and vouchers to woo tourists back. The international financial hub is racing to catch up with other popular travel destinations in a fierce regional competition. During the pandemic, the city has largely aligned itself with mainland China’s “zero-COVID” strategy and eased its entry rules months slower than rivals such as Singapore, Japan and Taiwan. On Thursday, Chief Executive John Lee launched tourism campaign “Hello Hong Kong,” saying the city will offer 500,000 free air tickets to welcome tourists from all around the world. Lee said visitors can also enjoy special offers and vouchers in the city.
