500,000 free air tickets to Hong Kong

From March Hong Kong plans to launch 500,000 free airline tickets in bid to boost tourism.

Hong Kong recently rolled back several COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Hong will be giving away 500,00 airline tickets worth more than €250 million.

Free tickets were initially bought to support airlines during the pandemic.

The city launched a $2 billion (€1.8 bn) 'Hello Hong Kong' campaign.
