Hong Kong is a perennially popular place for M.I.C.E. delegates and there is plenty in and around the city for any meeting planner looking to add a memorable incentive or team-building activity to a meeting or conference.

Urban Discovery is one of a new generation of companies in Hong Kong offering creative interactive experiences for groups; the experiences help reveal unique sides of the city. Like television’s The Amazing Race, Urban Discovery sends participants on a series of challenges to overcome. They work through a series of checkpoints as they make their way around the city.

Designed to ensure participants learn about Hong Kong while competing, challenges range from historic trails around heritage buildings to an early evening challenge that takes in Wan Chai’s once infamous nightlife district. Ideal for groups of 20 or more, the challenges can be tailored to suit many interests and a company’s goals.

In a city that lives to eat, food is always an important part of any visit to Hong Kong. For smaller incentive or teambuilding groups, customized food tours enable rare access to local food culture. Boutique tour company Little Adventures Hong Kong takes visitors to street stalls and local food courts that serve quintessential dishes, such as dim sum and wonton noodles, often in less visited parts of the city. Tours of wet markets and cooking classes as teambuilding events or tailored as luxury dining experiences are also available.
