A new Hong Kong experience

Krungthai Card, aka KTC, has joined forces with the Hong Kong Tourism Board to launch the campaign, “Hong Kong Best Experiences with KTC”, which will run until December. 
    “Our survey on the spending patterns of KTC members in terms of overseas travel in 2016, found that Bangkok-Hong Kong was one of the top routes and members spent via their KTC credit cards around Bt500 million in Hong Kong last year. So, to thank our members who love Hong Kong, we have joined with the Hong Kong Tourism Board to offer our clients exclusive experiences in their Hong Kong excursions. KTC offers more than 50 activities worth Bt10 million to support and promote this marketing campaign,” says Pittaya Vorapanyasakul, executive vice president of KTC’s credit card business.

    “In 2016, almost 600,000 Thais travelled to Hong Kong, an increase of 12.3 per cent over 2015. To continue with our 'Best of all, it’s in Hong Kong' drive launched in January, we collaborated with KTC on this campaign, which offers the very best Hong Kong experiences to Thai visitors. They range from gourmet delicacies, super-hip spots, adventures on land, water or in the sky, as well as enjoying nature in a novel, refreshing way. The packages are especially designed for Thai travellers. They will allow them to experience the authentic Hong Kong in a way never before possible,” says Simon Wong, Southeast Asia regional director of the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
    You can be part of the campaign by using your KTC credit card for Hong Kong-related purchases with KTC World Travel Service or World Explorer as well as in Hong Kong where every Bt5,000 spent earns you the chance to win a “3-Trip-3-Style Hong Kong Tour” packages between May 1 and December 31. Other offers include a “Shop-Dine-Play” package designed especially for your Hong Kong trip that starts at Bt8,888 and a discount of up to 50 per cent at 40 participating shops between June 1 and December 31.
