Travel Agents Incentive Scheme

Travel Agents Incentive Scheme

The Travel Agents Incentive Scheme (Scheme) is funded by the HKSAR Government and comprises two parts, namely inbound travel (administered by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB)) and outbound travel (administered by the Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong (TIC)). It aims to provide cash incentives for travel agents based on the number of inbound and outbound overnight travellers they serve.

The Government announced in the 2023-24 Budget the enhanced measures to be implemented for Scheme so as to facilitate the speedy recovery of the industry.  Details are as follows:

(1)    Further extend the deadline of the Scheme by three months to 30 June 2023, i.e. the period of eligible trips (inbound and outbound) under the Scheme will be extended until 30 June 2023; 

(2)    Provide 500 new quota for each licensed travel agent; and

(3)    Align the level of cash incentive for inbound traveller from HK$120 to HK$100. 

Eligible applications submitted by licensed travel agents receiving travellers on or before 31 March 2023 will continue to use the existing quota (if the quota limit of 1,000 is not reached), and the cash incentives will be calculated according to the current level i.e. HK$120 (inbound travellers) or HK$100 (outbound travellers) per traveller.  Eligible applications submitted by licensed travel agents receiving travellers from 1 April 2023 onwards will apply the new quota of 500 and the cash incentives will be calculated at the level of HK$100 for each traveller regardless of inbound and outbound travellers.  The existing quota of licensed travel agents that remains unused by 31 March 2023 will automatically lapse on 1 April 2023.
