In the culturally diverse and vibrant international hub of Hong Kong, renowned for its harmonious blend of the modern and traditional, planners can mix business and leisure seamlessly.
Those looking for new and creative ways to motivate and empower their teams can turn to the Hong Kong Incentive Playbook. Presented by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), it is designed to be a one-stop guide for incentive planners to craft authentic and memorable experiences that achieve their team-building objectives.
The informative playbook comprises a variety of more than 100 imaginative ideas for incentive groups across five themes – Arts & Culture; Wellness & Nature; Neighbourhoods; Nightlife & Parties, and Hong Kong Signatures. Here are TTG’s best picks:
Arts & Culture
Find artsy landmarks and venues for meetings while letting the team explore diverse artworks at world-class galleries or unassuming alleys.
Check out M+, a museum of modern and contemporary visual culture for its interesting exhibitions. At the same time, M+ offers various multifunctional event spaces for events, including ones that provide iconic views of the Victoria Harbour.
For team building activities, there are various workshop options including art jamming, traditional Chinese painting workshops, pearl farming, and Chinese calligraphy. There are also opportunities to tour the internationally renowned arts events and festivals that fill the city’s events calendar year-round.
Wellness & Nature
Beyond Hong Kong’s postcard-perfect skyline is green space that covers 75 per cent of the city’s land mass – making them ideal wellness spots for reinvigorating team spirit.
Give the team fun-filled bonding experiences through active adventures such as hiking along picturesque trails such as 1,200 steps up to Violet Hill, boating to the UNESCO Global Geopark or trying out Chinese martial arts.
Hong Kong’s idyllic outlying islands, such as Yim Tin Tsai and Cheung Chau, also boast hidden gems that vary from the standard itinerary.
To boost team-members’ well-being, eco-awareness, empathy and compassion, organise mindfulness workshops for them and include wholesome dining at farm-to-table restaurants, and visits to organic farms or temples.
Neighbourhoods
Experience the city’s authentic sights and sounds at characterful neighbourhoods.
Dive into Old Town Central to soak up Hong Kong’s unique East-meets-West essence and discover hidden heritage sites and cultural gems, or explore a whole range of world-class art venues such as the new Hong Kong Palace Museum, Xiqu Centre, or Arts Pavilion in West Kowloon.
The island of Lantau is another option for team bonding, with iconic venues and attractions to adrenaline-fuelled beach adventures, running challenges, ice skating and much more.
Nightlife & Parties
During the day, hold memorable parties at iconic venues such as the Water World Ocean Park, Hong Kong Disneyland or Happy Valley Racecourse.
When dusk falls, it is time to hit the streets and discover the city’s award-winning bars with unique concepts such as the first zero waste bar Penicillin, COA or The Iron Fairies, and vibrant nightlife at Lan Kwai Fong.
Keep track of colourful festivals to enrich incentive programmes with priceless moments, and uncover more experiences after dark beyond bars and parties.
Hong Kong Signatures
Not to be missed are classic Hong Kong experiences, from world-famous attractions to unforgettable adventures. Whether it is a cruise of Victoria Harbour, a night of horse-racing excitement, shopping along the alleyways of colourful street markets, or a ride up to the Peak to capture panoramic views, the options for a quintessential Hong Kong experience are endless.
