It features an array of digital direct promotional activities, organic promotions in the form of content marketing activities, videos, social media contests, as well as influencer outreach programmes. "Winter Reunion" will run until the end of November this year.Raymond Chan, regional director, Southeast Asia of Hong Kong Tourism Board said, “The year-end is a season of celebrations and holidays, and Hong Kong is the ideal destination to bond and spend memorable times with beloved friends and families. Visitors from key source markets can continue to enjoy and discover the best that Hong Kong Winter has to offer."Meanwhile, Craig Hewett, co-founder of Wego, said this is its second campaign of 2018 aimed at boosting tourist traffic to the city. The agenda is to amplify all previous marketing efforts with a fresh twist, he said."Such engagement tactics will surely attract a greater number of vacationing families and other close-knit groups. We are eager for more travellers to forge deeper bonds with their loved ones by celebrating the holiday season against the backdrop of a vibrant and versatile Hong Kong city,” Hewett added.
