NeutralTechnology
Dane Cheng Ting-yat, the longtime leader of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, is calling it quits this October when his contract wraps up. After six years steering the city's tourism efforts—including the rocky pandemic era—he's reportedly planning to take a well-earned break. The board’s already hunting globally for his replacement, with job ads popping up on LinkedIn and their website.
Editor’s Note: Cheng’s departure marks the end of an era for Hong Kong’s tourism strategy, which has faced massive challenges—from protests to COVID shutdowns—during his tenure. Whoever steps into the role next will inherit the tricky job of reviving the city’s appeal as a top travel destination amid shifting global perceptions and economic headwinds. It’s a high-stakes transition for an industry that’s vital to Hong Kong’s economy.
