Hong Kong Airlines is excited about the central government’s decision to expand the Individual Visit Scheme (IVS) to include eight cities in Northwest China: Taiyuan, Hohhot, Harbin, Lhasa, Lanzhou, Xining, Yinchuan, and Urumqi. This expansion will allow residents from these cities to visit Hong Kong more easily, boosting the city’s tourism sector. Hong Kong Airlines is already taking steps to meet this increased demand, such as launching direct flights to Urumqi and working with government and industry partners to cater to the growing travel demands. The airline remains committed to facilitating connections between Hong Kong and other cities and fostering deeper ties with Belt and Road markets.
