Spending receipts in previous collection period remain eligible for future redemption.
The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) announced that, taking a prudent approach in light of the latest pandemic development in town, the registration of the third round of “Spend-to-Redeem Local Tours”, originally planned to commence, will be postponed until further notice. The HKTB will continue to closely monitor the latest pandemic situation in town and launch the campaign in a timely manner, giving top priority to the public’s safety and hygiene. The public may pay attention to the HKTB’s announcement in due course.
Any machine-printed spending receipts since 10 December 2021 will remain eligible for redemption for local tours when the programme is relaunched in the future. The public may keep the receipts for participating in the programme later.
The “Spend-to-Redeem Local Tours” programme is a major initiative under the HKTB’s “Holiday at Home” campaign. Upon spending HK$800 at a physical dining or shopping outlet in the city, members of the public can redeem their spending receipts for a quota in a local tour. The HKTB hopes to encourage the public to be the city’s own tourists and stimulate consumption, hence driving the economy and promoting a positive ambience in town.
