Felix 8 SYD official

THE 150-room Felix Hotel by 8Hotels has officially opened at Sydney Airport following a soft opening on 01 Feb.

The property is just 7mins walk from Sydney Domestic Airport and features Economy, Premium Economy, Business Class and First Class category suites.

THE Hong Kong Tourism Board yesterday hosted a special Chinese New Year event focusing on the business events market.

The tasty lunch in Sydney also included a presentation by Lisa Lee, HKTB’s manager of trade marketing and business tourism for Australia, NZ and the South Pacific, highlighting the huge variety of bonuses on offer from hoteliers and attractions in Hong Kong for meeting organisers.

The 2018/19 HK Rewards program is the “most comprehensive range of value- added incentives to date,” Lee said, with the revised scheme offering cultural experiences, transport, cocktail receptions and hospitality packages across a wide variety of HK suppliers.

“We feel the offers contribute to making the conference or event more memorable, and also helps the budget go a little bit further”.

Highlights include a hospitality package and shopping discount at Hong Kong Disneyland, a character experience at Ocean Park Hong Kong, welcome packs, cultural performances and complimentary cocktail receptions offered by close to 50 hotels across Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.
