Poman Lo Kuok, Executive Vice Chairman and Group Managing Director of Regal Hotels, spoke to the South China Morning Post about Hong Kong's potential as a cultural tourism hub.
She made the remarks to the South China Morning Post in a Hong Kong media-exclusive interview on the sidelines of Shangri-La’s new “Dragonbeat” festival programme, which it launched as part of its new five-year partnership with the Stanley International Dragon Boat Championships.
“Everyone knows Hong Kong is a really vibrant international city, but at the same time it’s a vibrant international city that has really preserved a lot of its traditional culture,” Kuok said.
She added that Hong Kong was uniquely positioned as a bridge between mainland China and the world, giving the city “enormous potential” for cultural tourism – particularly as the mainland grew as a popular destination among international travellers.
“I think this allows Hong Kong to have fresh opportunities to build a new competitive advantage in terms of tourism through culture,” she said.
