To stimulate tourism... An airline distributes 10,000 free tickets .. Details
The South China Morning Post reported that Hong Kong Airlines has issued 9,800 airline tickets for free distribution to Hong Kong residents as part of a government campaign to encourage outbound tourism.
As users rushed to book their free tickets, the company's website temporarily crashed, and when it recovered, many users said they were repeatedly kicked out of the online queue.
And the "South China Morning Post" said that those who have succeeded in booking a free flight will be able to use it within six months.
In 2022, the Hong Kong government launched the "Hello Hong Kong" programme, which aims to encourage local residents to travel abroad and thus reduce pressure on the region's economy as it recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
A total of 80,000 free air tickets are to be distributed among domestic air carriers, such as Hong Kong Express, Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong Airlines.
