THEME

Reimagining the HK Tramways Experience:
Blending Traditions with Innovations to Captivate Tourists

tram

HK Tramways, an iconic symbol of the city’s heritage, presents a unique opportunity to captivate tourists. Students are challenged to develop ideas that seamlessly integrate the tramways with other aspects of the city, creating a holistic and immersive experience for tourists. This could involve collaborations with local businesses, cultural institutions, and technology providers to develop unique offerings that showcase the best of Hong Kong.

Think outside the box and consider Tramways as a gateway to a wider range of experiences!

Students can create compelling proposals that not only reinvent the tram riding experience but also contribute to the overall appeal of Hong Kong as a must-visit destination.
