Designed by Meetings and Exhibitions Hong Kong (MEHK), a division of the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), the brand-new Old Town Central (OTC) MICE Guide was officially launched at a trade briefing in Tai Kwun, Centre for Heritage and Arts on 5 Nov 2018. The Ultimate MICE Guide is designed for planners, recommended by top planners from four strategic markets across the region. The guide is available in print and digital versions for meeting planners to plan and design the best spots in the OTC cluster, a community over 100 years old, which offers a great variety of meeting ideas, from venues to team-building and gourmet indulgence.

#1 Teamwork In Action.

Sharing a unique experience brings people closer together, whether it involves building stronger connections through a joint cooking experience or strengthening bonds through the universal language of art. About 10 classes have been introduced so far, from arts and crafts and food tasting to traditional cultural activities, all featuring a local twist for participants to interact with and appreciate Hong Kong culture while having plenty of fun!

#2 Authentic Scavenger Hunt in Old Town Central.

Nothing is more authentic than a scavenger hunt in the city’s iconic neighborhood, which reflects the contrast between old and new, heritage and creativity, and East and West. Get acquainted with some of the neighbourhood’s hidden gems, as each of the 10 checkpoints is a unique local attraction, related to history, delicious food or great shopping.

#3 Dining in the Heart of Asia’s Food Paradise.

Hong Kong has no shortage of exceptional international restaurants. Scattered throughout the heart of the financial and cultural district of Old Town Central is everything from Michelin maestros and halal-certified and vegetarian eateries to myriad restaurants that boast a world of flavours – all catering for parties of different sizes and purposes.

#4 Event Venues.

OTC is also home to a range of venues that cater for a plethora of events and celebrations – whatever the theme and scale. Art institutions, heritage sites and modern multi-purpose spaces abound in the district. These locations can host events that encompass everything from street festivals in Hong Kong’s most iconic nightlife spots in Lan Kwai Fong to intimate gatherings in Asia’s latest art space.
