Background of Co-organiser
Walk in Hong Kong is the city’s leading cultural enterprise. We are known for our wonderful storytelling. We make what could be dry history lessons into memorable experiences, rooted in Hong Kong’s people and culture. Our walking tours are well loved by travellers, corporates, schools, families, and locals alike.
Our vision does not stop there. Despite our small scale, we are an influential advocate for heritage conservation and driving social changes. In 2016, our team successfully lobbied for a Grade 1 historic building status for State Theatre in North Point, helping preserve one of the city’s most important theatrical venues. In 2017, Walk in Hong Kong won the HSBC Youth Business Gold Award, an important recognition of our enterprising effort.
