Hong Kong is set to showcase its dynamic fusion of culture, sports, and tourism as it co-hosts the 15th National Games alongside Guangdong and Macao – the first-ever joint hosting by the Greater Bay Area. The event marks a strategic effort to strengthen regional collaboration while positioning Hong Kong as a global hub for major international events.
Infrastructure Meets Ambition
The newly opened Kai Tak Sports Park, Hong Kong's largest sports infrastructure project to date, will serve as a centerpiece. Rosanna Law, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, emphasized its significance: "This facility embodies our spirit of perseverance. It connects local energy with global attention through world-class competitions."
Beyond the Arena
Authorities aim to leverage the games to boost tourism, with curated cultural experiences complementing athletic events. The initiative aligns with broader efforts to revitalize Hong Kong's economy through cross-sector collaboration, offering visitors a blend of sporting excellence and cultural discovery.
Over 10,000 athletes from across the country are expected to participate, with organizers projecting a surge in regional tourism revenue. The games will feature traditional sports alongside emerging disciplines, reflecting Asia's evolving athletic landscape.
