1. The HKTB ‘Free Summer Tour’ Programme (the ’Programme’) runs from 24 May to 31 July 2021 (inclusive) unless otherwise stated. The spending period will be from 24 May to 30 July 2021; booking period will be from 1 June to 30 July 2021; and the departure period will be from 7 June to 31 July 2021 inclusive.
2. Upon spending HK$800 or more (each set of original machine-printed receipt(s) up to a maximum of two receipts can only be redeemed once per person) at physical retail^* and/or physical dining^# outlets (as defined above) in Hong Kong during the promotion period, participants can redeem a free tour under the Programme (“Tour”) while stock lasts. There is no limit to the number of Tours redeemable, as long as the minimum requirements on spending limit and machine-printed receipt(s) are met and the Tour is available. Participants shall contact Participating Travel Agent to book the Tour within the redemption period (last departure date is 31 July 2021).

   ^* Retail is defined as the resale of tangible goods to the general public for personal or household consumption or utilisation. No processing or transformation of the goods should be involved in the resale process. This definition is widely applied in official industry statistics. For example, tangible goods do not include personal services, agency services, prepaid/gift cards, admission tickets, tokens, transport tickets, financial products, foreign currency exchanges etc, and the customers of tangible goods should not primarily be industrial, commercial and institutional users, or other retail users. Hence, this Programme does not cover stores primarily engaged in personal and business services. The determination as to whether resale is without transformation or whether goods are sold mainly to the general public for personal or household consumption will be made conclusively by Hong Kong Tourism Board (‘HKTB’).

   ^# Dining outlets should hold a valid food business licence issued by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department. Types of licences include general restaurants, light refreshment restaurants and factory canteens. Please access https://www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/licence-foodPremises-rest.html for the list.

   For the avoidance of doubt: (i) only purchases with full payment made in person at physical outlets are eligible for this offer; (ii) online purchases, whether made with full or partial payment and whether for delivery of the goods, foods, beverages or any other item to a designated delivery address or for pickup at a physical outlet, are not eligible for this offer; and (iii) any reference to the expression “physical” in respect of retail and/or dining outlets shall be interpreted strictly in accordance with paragraphs (i) and (ii) above in addition to all other terms and conditions.
