Explore the Heart of Hong Kong with Free Layover Tours!

HONG KONG, 8 September 2025: Get ready for an unforgettable adventure at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA)! Last Friday, HKIA unveiled an incredible new offering: complimentary local tours tailored specifically for transfer passengers eager to soak in the vibrant culture and stunning sights of Hong Kong during their layovers.

Tour participants are in for a treat with expedited immigration processes, allowing for seamless entry and exit. Whether you’re just passing through or looking to make the most of your wait, these tours promise to keep you on schedule while showcasing the very best of Hong Kong.

Jointly crafted by Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) and Trip.com, these free tours are available for air-to-air transfer passengers who have a layover of at least seven hours. What an amazing way to make your wait worthwhile!

Iconic Tours Await!

The launch ceremony was graced by AAHK’s Chief Executive Officer Vivian Cheung along with Trip.com’s Jane Sun, marking the beginning of an exciting new era for HKIA.

Choose from two captivating half-day experiences: the "Heritage and Local Lifestyle Citywalk" offers a guided journey through the historic neighborhoods of Hong Kong, while the "Victoria & West Kowloon Waterfront Journey" treats you to breathtaking views of the city’s iconic harbor, especially mesmerizing at night.

And that’s not all! Come December 2025, a brand new tour, "Serenity & Stories: A Harmony Journey," will take you through the serene countryside, revealing yet another side of Hong Kong's beauty.

Join the Fun!

To participate, travelers will need a valid visa or must meet the entry requirements set by the Hong Kong SAR Government. Eligible transfer passengers can conveniently pre-book these tours online or register on-site at HKIA upon arrival.

This Free Layover Tour is just the tip of the iceberg! It’s the inaugural offering in HKIA’s broader Transfer Programme, which promises even more exciting features like interactive mobile games and cultural workshops, all designed to enhance your transfer experience—making it as enjoyable as your final destination!
