Rugby Weekend in Hong Kong will be a winner!
Hong Kong is the epitome of ‘New Asia’ with a fascinating blend
of Asian and Western cultures mixing together in business and
leisure lifestyles enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. Ten years
ago the administration of Hong Kong was passed from the British
to the Chinese Government. The Chinese recognised the
importance of Hong Kong as a trading base and gateway to the
western economic world and so left the city state to carry on much
as it had under the British regime. Locals might say that some
things have changed, but they cannot deny that their standard
of living is amongst the highest in the modern world.
Tourism, meetings and conventions are an important aspect to
Hong Kong’s undoubted success story. The Hong Kong Convention
& Exhibition Centre is one of Hong Kong’s defining landmarks,
which was opened in time for the ‘handover’ ceremony from
British to Chinese administration back in 1997. From a sporting
perspective Horse Racing promoted by the Hong Kong Jockey
Club, and the famous Hong Kong Sevens Tournament have jointly
funded a modern and well-positioned National Stadium in the
Causeway Bay district of Hong Kong Island. With a capacity
of 40,000 mostly covered seats, this venue is predicted to be
sold-out well in advance of the Test Match in November.
Today Hong Kong is a cruising and airline hub in the centre of Asia,
with close transport and trading links to North America, China,
South East Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East and Europe.
Investment in developments and infrastructure has leapt ahead
under Chinese rule with many ‘mega-projects’ being completed
in the past ten years. Today, Hong Kong is a vibrant, exciting city
of the world, with a myriad of attractions, classy hotels, endless
dining options and shopping that meets all budgets; from markets
to malls and boutiques to department stores, Hong Kong really
has it all.
Since 1985 we have been arranging annual tours and packages
to the famous Hong Kong Sevens. Literally thousands of
New Zealanders have travelled with Williment Sports Travel to
Hong Kong over the past 23-years. Our experienced staff knows
Hong Kong intimately and can provide valuable advice on most
aspects of this exciting destination.
Williment Sports Travel has been organising Packages and Tours
following the All Blacks for over forty years now. We have earned
an enviable reputation for quality tour arrangements at a
reasonable price. We do not skimp on inclusions, but we strive
to provide good value for money and a lasting, once-in-a-lifetime
experience. A testimony to our success is the large number of
‘repeat’ clients that we welcome back, time and again.
From Hong Kong you could extend your holiday into China or you
could take our Rugby & Racing Tour, which includes the
Melbourne Cup, after Hong Kong. Then there is the wonderful
Grand Slam Tour opportunity following the All Blacks in the UK
and Ireland as they take on Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England
on consecutive weekends after the Hong Kong Test.
