The brief required a modern and dynamic metropolis; a location and tailor made programme that would create a contrast between meetings. Their tightly packed schedule required a well organised itinerary which would offer moments of utter brilliance that would live long in the memory.

SOLUTION
Black Tomato Events felt that Hong Kong would provide the dramatic backdrop for the meetings and leisure time.
Traditional Chinese Junk in the harbor.
The selected hotel continues to be deemed one of the world’s eminate venue for business and leisure. It is conveniently located offering unrivalled panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island, alongside unparalleled service and facilities. The programme began with a welcome lunch at hotel in the celebrated celebrity restaurant Nobu, followed by the first of the scheduled meetings. That evening a stunning sunset cruise within the Victoria Harbour was undertaken. The vessel was a handcrafted traditional Chinese junk and as the boat set sail, a glass of champagne was served. The local guide on-board introduced the key sites of Hong Kong and once the sun had set, the boat was perfectly positioned to provide the most spectacular views of the ‘Symphony of Lights’ show. A multimedia spectacle synchronised to music and narration celebrating the energy and spirit, providing a truly illuminating view of the city!
Once the light show had finished, the boat returned the guests to the pier, where upon arrival they were escorted to the restaurant for dinner. As Hong Kong is a city all about views, all of the restaurants chosen for this group, boasted the best views of the city from all angles.
Inside ManMo Temple
The following morning after a relaxed breakfast, the guests commenced with their morning meeting. Thereafter the group was privately transferred to their afternoon of exploration, utilising a variety of Hong Kong’s transport systems. Their first involved being escorted to a roof top helipad where the group were taken on a 30 minute flight over Hong Kong and the neighbouring islands. Upon landing everyone was taken to the iconic Star Ferry Terminal, where they boarded the Star Ferry which took them across the harbour to Hong Kong Island. Once docked the English speaking guide assisted the group through this bustling area allowing full immersion in the surrounding Chinese culture. The group stopped at various highlights, including Hollywood Road, the famous Ladder Street, and the ornate ManMo temple. The journey continued with a traditional tea demonstration followed by a Sampan boat ride around the famous Aberdeen fishing village.
To reach the day’s final destination, the group boarded a private street tram, passing the time with a glass of wine and canapés until reaching Victoria Peak, the city’s highest point. The peak showcases a mesmerising, uninterrupted view of sunset over the city, harbour and surrounding islands.
The group were then driven back to the hotel, where they had time for a quick freshen up before being escorted to one of the world’s swankiest restaurants. The group had a private room with floor to ceiling views over Hong Kong and enjoyed amazing food and signature cocktails.
The following morning after the final meeting the group were transferred to the airport for their return flights home.
