發佈日期: 2026-03-27 05:51 港澳 已複製連結 三、四月,春光明媚,香港精彩盛事無間斷,迎來了最熾熱的盛事季節 。旅發局推出「Hong Kong Mega 8」推廣活動,從巴塞爾藝術展、Art Central、ComplexCon HongKong,到國際七人欖球賽及香港打吡大賽等,八大國際級盛事輪番登場,加上城中各區的多元文化活動,共同編織出一張緊密且絢麗的盛事網絡地圖。當全城投入盛事熱潮之際,香港作為 「亞洲盛事之都」,要做的不只是辦好每一場盛事,更要把盛事聯乘以形成合力,從而將盛事經濟效益放到最大。 盛事不再是單獨個體,而是 「一加一大於二」的疊加效應。「Hong Kong Mega 8」將多項世界級藝術文化及體育盛事串聯起來,並與香港其他旅遊亮點有機結合,形成持續數周、甚至數月的盛事浪潮。旅客不再只為單一活動而來,而是可以一次過參與多項盛事,行程自然更為豐富,更能領略香港多元魅力。旅發局與藝術中環展會合作推出《香港藝術月探索指 南》,列出多個藝術社區的精彩活動,也提供詳盡的周邊餐飲推介,讓旅客可輕鬆探索香港不同角落的人與故事。這種盛事串聯形成了強大的集聚效應,既保持香港旅遊熱度,更打造出 「周周有新意,月月有精彩」的活躍氛圍。 盛事聯乘的最直接效益,體現在旅客留港時間的延長。過往不少旅客行程僅限於活動場地周邊,停留一兩日便離去。當多項盛事同期舉行,旅客自然願意多留數日,一次過體驗不同盛事。旅遊套票向來大受歡迎,包括藝術中環展會聯同旅發局推出一系列旅遊體驗套票,正是回應這一需求–將盛事門票與酒店住宿聯同銷售,讓旅客以更優惠價格延長留港時間。當 旅客留港時間延長,意味着餐飲、零售、酒店等周邊行業消費亦隨之增加。一位多留兩日的旅客,其額外消費往往可觀,當盛事聯乘帶動旅客 「多住一日、多玩一日、多走一區」,盛事經濟的效益必擴散至整個消費鏈。 盛事聯乘固然能產生協同效應,但多項活動同期舉行,對配套服務的要求亦相應提高。與單一活動不同,聯乘盛事涉及多個場地、時段、活動類型。旅客要在短時間內穿梭於不同活動之間,對公共交通的便捷度、指示牌的清晰度、即時資訊的準確度都有更高要求。政府已設立盛事年表,清晰羅列現有及未來各項活動,為旅客提供一站式資訊。然而,資訊齊備只 是第一步,政府與業界還須加強跨部門協調,優化交通銜接安排,確保旅客能夠順暢地體驗每一場盛事。唯有配套服務與盛事聯乘同步升級,才能真正將 「盛事之都」的品牌擦亮,讓旅客玩得開心、食得愉快、買得愜意,樂意一來再來,並與朋友分享到港體驗,一同說好香港故事,成為香港的粉絲。 香港擁有世界級的會展場館、國際化的旅遊配套、中西薈萃的文化底蘊,發展盛事經濟的條件得天獨厚。「Hong Kong Mega 8」的推廣,在於將分散的盛事串聯協同,當文藝展、音樂節、體育賽事在同一時段交織上演,旅客來港便不再只為某一場活動,而是為體驗整座城市的活力與魅力。這才是盛事經濟的最高境界。各界將期待更多盛事聯乘、跨界合作,讓香港的盛事品牌愈做愈好,經濟效益愈放愈大。 Source link
