Team Building
Exercises |
|
The soul of success is
teamwork, and the sights, sounds, and thrills of Hong Kong are the
ideal setting for some of the most imaginative and effective hands-on
team-building programmes on offer anywhere in the world. Choose one or
several. While your achievers are being stimulated and energised by a
wealth of cultural, natural and sporting attractions, they'll also be
learning new ways to pull together as a team. And your incentive
winners will return to work with a lot more than just pleasant
memories. They'll bring new abilities and insights that will raise
performance levels to new heights.
Build a Dream Team! -
Speed Hong Kong Style: Dragon Boat Racing
Drums pound. Oars rip through the water. A well-trained crew works
at fever pitch. The goal: bring a dragon boat across the finish line
first. Dragon Boat Racing has its roots in Chinese mythology, but it's
a fast-paced, exciting international sport. Each race lasts a few
minutes, so split seconds matter and teamwork is everything. Your
achievers will practise rowing in a team, and then take off as arms
and oars vanish in a blur of speed. The power of teamwork at its best.
Build a Dream Team! - The Perfect Match
Marriage is universal. But the Chinese do it their way, bestowing
it with fascinating rituals which were formalised 2,000 years ago.
Competing teams will go through the entire marriage ritual, working to
a deadline arranging a ceremony in an unfamiliar city, while learning
the customs of a new culture - a tremendous teamwork builder for your
group. After a lucky couple is selected by a matchmaker, an auspicious
date is chosen using the Chinese almanac at Hong Kong's most popular
temple. Then begins a welter of preparations: selecting costumes,
food, jewellery, and arranging a banquet. On the big day participants
hold a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony which resonates with
ancestor worship, still a mainstay of local culture. Afterwards, comes
a lively and joyous feast. The players will have proved themselves as
a team and will have gained fascinating insights into an important
rite of passage in Chinese culture.
Build a Dream Team! -
Portrait of a City in Motion
People are the key to Hong Kong's success. They drive this amazing
non-stop commercial engine. But who are they? What makes Hong Kong
people tick? Your achievers will find out, becoming photojournalists
in the process. The tools: a camera, a roll of film and a map. Your
winners will divide into teams and explore a district on foot or on
public transport, taking pictures that tell the real story of Hong
Kong's people. At a gala dinner, awards are presented for Best Photo
and Best Story. More importantly, your achievers will have worked
together to gain new insights and communicate them - skills which they
can apply daily in their working lives.
Build a Dream Team! - Dances with Lions
Lion Dancing has been a part of Chinese culture for thousands of
years. A fascinating spectacle of costume, colour, music and movement,
the Lion Dance is seen as an important ritual which is essential for
an auspicious start to any venture. It exorcises evil spirits and
brings good luck to all spectators. It also takes agility,
co-ordination and stamina - great team builders. Incentive winners,
divided into two teams, assume the various roles: the two halves of
the lion, the "Happy Buddha" who leads the dance, and the orchestra.
There follows a short, intensive period of instruction, after which
team members design and paint the traditional banners for their lions.
The two teams compete on a variety of levels, learning new moves,
skills, and testing their powers of teamwork to the limit.
Build a Dream
Team! - The Sound and Spectacle of Cantonese Opera
All the world is a stage, and here's where your team can star in a
mind-boggling feast of costume, colour and exotic music. Cantonese
opera, an exciting Chinese theatrical art, can help bring your
achievers together in a spirit of fun and fellowship. First, they
learn the ropes from professional actors, make-up artists and
musicians. Then your top achievers will tread the boards themselves in
a unique production of a classic play, Breaking the Red Lantern. Once
they have crossed cultures and seen new possibilities in themselves,
your team will be ready to tackle any goal.
Build a Dream
Team! - Treasure Hunt
Many of Hong Kong's treasures are waiting to be discovered by the
adventurous. Your incentive winners can go on a "Treasure Hunt" that
allows them to explore the city's back streets and get a real taste of
local life, in search of a prize that you determine. You may give your
hunt a theme, such as fung shui and architecture, or Chinese culinary
culture, to give your winners an insight into local lifestyles. In an
effort to find the treasure, your achievers might visit historical
buildings or monuments, or explore the city's bird, fish and flower
markets, where they'll learn the significance of plants and animals in
Chinese life. Apart from the prize, your team will come away from the
hunt having found the essence of Hong Kong, as expressed in its
architecture, its streets, its most cherished landmarks. |

Explore the Great
Outdoors |
|
Lush green pine forests.
Rugged mountains. Secluded beaches. Colourful islands. Astounding as
it may seem, 40% of Hong Kong's land is not urban glitter but rural
splendour and protected in 23 beautiful country parks. Your achievers
can enjoy a well-deserved break in an unspoilt subtropical wonderland
of exotic flowers and trees, rare butterflies and playful dolphins.
After communing with Mother Nature, your incentive winners will return
to work with renewed spirit and a better appreciation of our natural
wonders.
Head for the Great Outdoors! - Dolphinwatch
Hong Kong's scenic Western Harbour is home to one of nature's true
rarities - the exquisite and fascinating Chinese White Dolphin or Pink
Dolphin. Around 100 of these playful but endangered creatures can
still be found in the gentle waters off Lantau, a green, rugged
mountainous island. The Dolphinwatch programme lets your top achievers
experience the thrill of witnessing these magnificent dolphins
swimming freely in their natural habitat - an unforgettable encounter
with nature. As an added bonus, the programme will raise awareness of
the plight of the pink dolphin.
Head for the Great Outdoors! - Mai Po Wetlands and Bird Watching
Hong Kong, home to many of Asia's movers and shakers, is also home to
a wide variety of native birds. At least 430 species of birds and 50
species of butterflies have been recorded in Mai Po Wetlands in
northern Hong Kong. Mai Po Nature Reserve, managed by the World Wide
Fund for Nature, is a protected habitat for these species, as well as
a home to shrimp ponds and dwarf mangrove. Your achievers will never
forget the privilege of seeing these magnificent creatures in their
natural habitat. The programme affords true insights into these lovely
gifts of nature.
Head for the Great Outdoors! - Tree Planting
The challenge: Leave Hong Kong a greener, better place than when you
came. The solution: Plant or tend a tree. The Hong Kong Government has
launched the Green Tourism Tree Planting project to preserve Hong
Kong's natural landscape. Your group can take part. After a guided
tour of a country park, your winners will plant a seedling or tend a
tree in the park, not only commemorating a special occasion, but
making a contribution to the earth that will reap benefits for all
time. To the Chinese, planting trees brings good fortune to the family
and descendants.
Head for the Great Outdoors! - Visit to an Organic Farm
Green awareness is vital to our future. Your incentive winners can
deepen their knowledge as they reap the rewards of their hard work.
Throughout the New Territories are organic farms where Chinese
vegetables such as pak choi and choi sum are grown. Many of these
farms are operated by environmental groups. Your achievers can tour a
farm and learn how it is possible to grow delicious food without
harmful chemicals. They can also visit a duck farm, view the operation
and even feed ducks themselves. For city dwellers, the tour is an
enjoyable and broadening experience.
Head for the Great Outdoors! - Hiking Trails and Country Parks
They talk the talk, but can your winners walk the walk? Despite its
well-known image as a high-tech city, Hong Kong has 23 country parks,
comprising scenic hills, woodlands, reservoirs and coastlines all over
Hong Kong and the outlying islands. The parks' lush lowlands, bamboo
and pine forests, and rugged mountains are home to animals such as
barking deer, macaque monkeys, squirrels, birds, and butterflies. They
are wonderful places in which to enjoy a day's hike. Footpaths provide
easy access to hills and woodlands. Serious hikers will want to try at
least part of the challenging 100km MacLehose Trail, that winds
through the highlands of the New Territories. A country hike or a park
visit adds a healthy, invigorating, natural dimension to an incentive
trip.
Head for the Great Outdoors! - Golfer's Day Out
A reward worth working for: A luxurious day golfing at one of Hong
Kong's exclusive country clubs. Your winners can work on their
handicap in the plush scenic surroundings of one of three venues:

18-hole golf course that stretches to the ocean; The Jockey Club Kau
Sai Chau Public Golf Course, on Kau Sai Chau Island, in the middle of
Sai Kung's scenic Inner Port Shelter; and Hong Kong Golf Club, with
its three 18-hole courses on 400 acres of lush parkland. These
fully-equipped facilities will provide everything your winners need
for a day of well-earned recreation and relaxation.
Head for the Great Outdoors! - Come Horseracing
The crowd roars as the hooves pound past the line! Nothing gets
Hong Kong people's hearts beating like horseracing, which draws crowds
of 40,000 each week at the city's two racecourses. Your incentive
winners will experience the fever-pitch atmosphere of Hong Kong races
in style. They will be transported to Happy Valley Racecourse or Sha
Tin Racecourse where they will enjoy a meal in the Members' enclosure.

Feel Fabulous the
Chinese Way! - Qigong: Eternal Force of Life
Qi is the life force. It flows through everything, say the Chinese.
And you can control it. Qigong is an ancient form of exercise allowing
one to direct the flow of the life force, restoring health and
improving fitness. Your winners will learn from a master the basics of
channelling qi, doing breathing exercises that cleanse the body and
improve circulation of blood and qi. Qigong is a relaxing,
invigorating discipline that will give your achievers a new way of
using their energy resources.
Feel Fabulous the Chinese Way! - The Art of Tai Chi Swordsmanship
Balance. Focus. Strength. Qualities needed by both ancient warriors
and modern business people. The martial art of kung fu is famous
worldwide, thanks to Hong Kong son Bruce Lee, but few Westerners are
aware of the more peaceful art of tai chi swordplay. Used in ancient
times to improve mental reactions and health, tai chi swordplay
involves slow movements performed while holding a metre-long wooden
sword. The goal is to achieve a supreme level of balance, and to
harness and focus one's energies. First, a master teaches your top
achievers the basic movements. Then, 10-person competitive teams, or
"battle units", are formed to compete and display their new-found
swordsmanship. A fitting reward for your best warriors!
Feel Fabulous the Chinese Way! - Harvesting the Secrets of Health
For millennia the Chinese have studied the curative qualities of
plants, passing on the knowledge from generation to generation.
Traditional Chinese medicine shops offer herbs in the hundreds, for
almost every imaginable medical condition. These cures speak volumes
about the Chinese philosophy of food and health. Your winners will
follow an experienced herbalist to tiny Cheung Chau Island, to find
and pick a variety of fresh herbs. A Chinese herbalist will
demonstrate how to brew the collected herbs into tea, after which your
winners can taste the teas and gain some health benefits in addition
to their insights into age-old medical practices.
Feel Fabulous the Chinese Way! - The Gentle Art of Foot Massage
Do you appreciate your feet? Traditional Chinese medicine regards
them as the most important part of our body. They contain areas that
reflect all our major organs. Apply pressure to the right parts and
you can diagnose and help prevent diseases. Participants in this
fascinating programme will be briefed on Chinese foot massage and will
view a demonstration. They will then undergo a treatment themselves.
Your winners will be surprised how wonderful they feel afterwards.
Relaxed and invigorated, they'll never look at their feet the same way
again!
Feel Fabulous the Chinese Way! - Acupoint Massage : Vital and to
the Point
Where did acupuncture come from? Did someone notice that soldiers
wounded by arrows recovered from ailments in other parts of their
bodies? Did semi-divine sages first map the body's meridians? Whatever
its origins in legend, centuries of trial and error have evolved into
a refined and detailed clinical methodology. The Chinese believe that
adding pressure to certain points on the body can enhance the
circulation of qi and blood. In Hong Kong, acupoint massage is often
used as a remedy for many kinds of pain. Your winners have a chance to
partake of an ancient cure to enhance their well-being in the modern
world.
Feel Fabulous the Chinese Way! - A Storehouse of Medicinal
Treasures
Yin and Yang. Negative and Positive. Masculine and Feminine. All
of life involves the balancing of opposing forces, according to the
Chinese. When the balance is disturbed in our bodies, our health
suffers. To correct the balance, a herbalist will often prescribe a
variety of roots, barks, twigs, seeds, flowers and other natural
substances. This programme provides a fascinating insight into Chinese
medicine, which has been used with success for millennia. A
knowledgeable guide will take your winners to a Chinese medicine shop
to explore the means of diagnosis and treatment. They will also visit
the Nam Pak Hong (literally the South-North Trading Centre), well
known in the city's wholesale ginseng and medicinal herb trade.
Feel Fabulous the Chinese Way! - The Chinese Art of Healthy Eating
Dine on a snake, and live to tell the tale! For Chinese, eating
and health can never be separated. They eat to keep healthy and live
long. In winter, people add exotic ingredients (snakes, bird's nests,
etc) to dishes to keep warm and preserve energy. Every food item, from
bamboo shoots to bananas to ginger, has its own properties of
"heating" or "cooling" which help balance the body's natural forces.
Your achievers will have a chance to visit a specialty tonic
restaurant where a variety of health dishes are served. The
adventurous ones can sample snake soup, sea cucumber or blackleg
chicken.
Feel Fabulous the Chinese Way! - Tea: The Preferred Drink of One
Billion People
The art of tea drinking is quintessentially Chinese. Tea is drunk
for health, and is poured as an offering to friends. It accompanies an
everyday dim sum breakfast and is given to the bride before marriage.
The best way for your winners to learn about the many facets of this
Chinese practice is to visit specialty tea shops, where they can learn
the technique of tea brewing and sample choice potions. |

possibilities. Treating top achievers to gourmet cuisine on a
luxurious floating den of luxury is a great way to show your
appreciation for a job well done.

never to be forgotten. Your top achievers will take off to catch a
bird's eye view of the world's busiest harbour, and then tour the best
sights from far overhead: the beaches, islands, the Lantau Buddha, and
more. Even when your achievers finally catch their breath, they'll be
speechless with wonder at this magnificent experience. A helicopter
trip to Macau can also be arranged. |

For one evening, the grand splendour of Colonial Hong Kong is revived,

The ballroom is transformed into the famous Shanghai of old, when

dim sum, savour Peking Duck and noodle dishes. They'll also have a

trumpets! The bands of the Hong Kong Police Force, which include the
52-piece Silver (Military) Band and the 29-piece pipe band, as well as
a dance band, are available to help your incentive event make an
impression on your winners, while adding a distinctive colonial flair
to the proceedings. The Military Band plays marches, light classical
music and contemporary songs; the Pipe Band is a traditional Scottish
bag-pipe band with pipers and drummers. They make the ideal VIP
welcome for your top achievers.
Let Us Entertain You! - Clothes Encounters
Over the years Hong Kong has evolved from a textile manufacturing
centre into a fashion capital in its own right. Today the city
produces some of the world's most exciting clothes. The
fashion-conscious among your achievers will enjoy a fashion show
featuring the latest creations by some of the city's hottest
designers.
Let Us Entertain You! - Ancient Soulful Sounds
With its ethereal beauty and timeless elegance, Chinese music
immediately transports visitors into another world. An ensemble of
Chinese musicians, playing age-old melodies on the traditional
two-stringed erhu and the pear-shaped pipa, adds an authentic Eastern
feel to any event, and opens the door to greater understanding between
cultures.
Let Us Entertain You! - On their Toes
The charm and grace of the East meets the beauty of Western dance
in a delightful ballet performance by local children. Your winners can
find out first-hand how young talent is nurtured in Hong Kong. A
charming performance that is sure to delight any group!
Let Us Entertain You! - Out of the Mouths of Babes
Hong Kong has superb children's choirs whose pure and cheerful
voices can enliven any incentive event. An ensemble of talented young
people will sing selections from their varied repertoire. A unique and
charming addition to any celebration.
Let Us Entertain You! - Feats of Daring
Few shows generate the kind of excitement that your achievers will
experience at a Chinese acrobatic and kung fu show. Some of the
world's finest practitioners of the ancient Chinese martial arts will
demonstrate feats that defy description: walking barefoot on knives,
deft juggling, contortions, balancing and more. It's a truly
breathtaking look at one of the most mysterious and thrilling aspects
of Chinese culture.
Let Us Entertain You! - Strings and Things
East is East and West is West, and everyone agrees that there's
nothing like a good band to heat up the proceedings. A variety of
first-class Western-style ensembles can serenade your incentive
winners -- rock bands, orchestras, and jazz bands waiting to signal
the down beat and fill the room with beautiful sounds. |

Victoria Peak
High above Hong Kong Island on the 'back of the Dragon', Victoria Peak
is the City of Life's premier visitor attraction, providing
magnificent harbour and city views. Arriving late afternoon enables
you to experience the dazzling panorama of Hong Kong Island, the
harbour, Kowloon and the hills beyond. Later, you can thrill to the
neon-dotted skyline by night. What's more, The Peak offers visitors a
multitude of fantastic entertainment, dining and shopping options.
Peak Tram
The best way to get to the top is via the
Peak Tram, a funicular railway that carves a
steep 396-metre swathe up the lush mountainside. The tram has been in
operation since 1888, and once competed with sedan chairs as the most
popular way up. Try to get seats at the front of the tram on the
right-hand side for the journey skyward. The only way to describe the
views from this vantage point is "simply breathtaking".
Peak Tower & Peak Galleria
Thrilling indoor entertainment is housed in the
Peak Tower and Peak Galleria. Attractions
include a hi-tech virtual-reality ride, the Peak Explorer, as well as
a showcase of weird and wonderful artefacts at the Ripley's Believe It
Or Not! Odditorium. Then, rub shoulders with the famous at
world-renowned Madame Tussaud's wax portraits museum. With around 100
astoundingly life-like wax figures means getting up close and personal
with Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger has never been easier. And
let's not forget dining. There are several mouth-watering options on
the Peak, including Cafe Deco Bar & Grill and Movenpick Marche
Restaurant. All impress hungry visitors with their international menus
and outstanding views.
Peak Walks
The Peak is the perfect location to embark on several trails. For a
spectacular circular walk that takes about one hour, turn right out of
the
Peak Tower and head for Lugard Road. To
climb to even greater heights, stroll up Mount Austin Road to Victoria
Peak Garden, then venture down to Aberdeen or return to Central via
Old Peak Road.
How to get there :
1. Take bus no. 15C at Star Ferry Pier to Garden Road (Tram
Terminal) (HK$3.2; runs daily : 10am - 11:45pm). 2. Take bus no. 12S
at Admiralty MTR station (West) to Garden Road (Peak Tram Station)
(HK$2.5; runs daily : 10am - 12mn). 3. Take maxicab No.1 (HK$7.4) from
Central (Lung Wui Road near Hong Kong City Hall) runs daily (6:30am -
12mn). 4. Take bus no.15 (HK$9.2) from Central (Exchange Square) Bus
Terminus runs daily (6:15am - 12:15am).
Repulse Bay
Primarily a well-to-do residential area,
sun-drenched Repulse Bay has a relaxed resort-like atmosphere. The
wide, wave-lapped beach is popular with locals and visitors alike and
great for sandy strolls - early morning with the waking of another
day, when the sun is up and the sunbathers are out in force, or at
sunset when all is at peace. As well as sun, sea and sand, there are
plenty of diversions nearby. The ornate Life Guard Club is built in a
traditional Chinese style, its ceiling decorated with magnificent
swirling dragons. The picturesque gardens that lead down to the beach
are dominated by towering twin statues of Kwun Yum and Tin Hau, both
protectors of fishermen. The colonial-style, The Repulse Bay, houses
designer shops and award-winning restaurants and resembles the luxury
hotel that originally occupied the site. This is the ideal place for a
romantic dinner under the stars. For something more down-to-earth,
several open-air restaurants nearby specialise in the joys of
wholesome barbecued food, including the freshest prawns, squid, fish
and other seafood. All are cheery hives of activity every night of
every week.
How to get there :
Take Bus no. 6, 6A, 6X, 260 from Central (Exchange Square) Bus
Terminus and alight at Repulse Bay.

Hong Kong
Convention Ambassador |
|
The Hong Kong
Convention Ambassador (HKCA) programme was established in 1994. About
400 Hong Kong based prominent professional and business leaders have
been invited as HKCA so far.
-
When overseas, the HKCA
are committed to promoting Hong Kong as an ideal location for
conventions and exhibitions to their business counterparts.
-
They are actively
seeking opportunities to bid for and organise international
conventions and exhibitions which could be held in Hong Kong.
-
They are always talking
positively about Hong Kong and encouraging their overseas associates
to visit Hong Kong.
Once a person becomes a
HKCA, he is presented with a specially framed certificate and a lapel
pin. The HKCA Briefcase is a specially designed, pocket-size leaflet
which contains important tips for them when they promote Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) is most grateful for the
contribution of the HKCAs and conducts special activities, briefings
and mailings to ensure the Ambassadors receive first-hand information
about the latest developments and opportunities in Hong Kong. |
