Pack your stuff and book your next flight—we list everything you have to watch out for at the 2023 Cathay Pacific Travel Fair at SM Megamall

Hong Kong’s tourism and aviation industries have suffered immensely during the peak of COVID-19. It was in the throes of the pandemic’s “fifth wave”, and has sent patients who tested positive to quarantine centres. 

As the country slowly bounces back this year, airline companies like Cathay Pacific give a helping hand by offering Hong Kong travel deals and promotions that are almost impossible to resist.

Each partner is offering event-exclusive deals for the fair’s attendees.
