Hong Kong Rural Tourism Forum 17 May 2006

Info here on meeting I’m helping to organise:

Hong Kong Rural Tourism Forum
– Wednesday 17 May 2006

Are you involved in rural tourism? Perhaps you run a small restaurant, a hostel, or even a museum, or you guide visitors, showing them Hong Kong beyond the city.

If so, you know that although Hong Kong’s main tourism industry focuses on city attractions such as shopping and dining, there is widespread rural tourism – with the “tourists” mainly Hong Kong people heading out on weekends and public holidays.

The Rural Tourism Forum is a chance for you to meet other people working on tourism around Hong Kong, from areas including Sai Kung and Lantau Island. By participating, you’ll have a chance to discuss aspects of tourism beyond the city, such as:

• Ways to achieve success – how can you improve your business?
• Pitfalls to avoid;
• The potential of rural tourism;
• Can rural tourism help Hong Kong’s natural environment and culture? and
• What are the main problems facing rural tourism across Hong Kong – and potential solutions? Should the forum be followed by contacts with government departments and tourism industry organisations, who can help to nurture Hong Kong’s rural tourism, and by further meetings?

Organized by the Rural Tourism Committee of the
Coalition on Sustainable Development, supported by the Business Environment Council.
Primary language: Cantonese.

Venue: Business Environment Council, Jockey Club Environmental Building, 77 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon (near Kowloon Tong MTR station).
Time: 3-5pm on 17 May 2006.
