Enriching the visitor experience with innovative technology A summer campaign for the whole family
“Since its opening, sky100 has launched many new facilities with innovative technologies to refresh the visitor experience,” said Ms. Stella Wong, General Manager of sky100. “Since 2015, sky100 has offered its mobile application, AR Fun Photos and 360 VR ride, making an impossible sky-high journey possible. The “Love in the Sky” light show launched last December likewise made the spectacular night views of Victoria Harbour even more romantic, and the popular “Message of Love” personalised message service launched in February offered a unique opportunity for couples to celebrate important occasions such as proposals and anniversaries. This summer, we have once again infused various technologies into the installations at sky100, creating missions and challenges for families to enjoy together, and unlocking children's creativity.”

Ms Wong added, “sky100 has performed well in the past 12 months. The launch of the High Speed Rail and the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge in Q4 2018 further enhanced Hong Kong's connectivity and accessibility from cities throughout China, facilitating more frequent visits by travellers from across the region. Leveraging these exciting opportunities, together with our joint promotions with local and overseas partners, sky100 once again achieved double-digit growth in visitor numbers compared to the same period last year. While growth from Chinese visitors was the most significant, our customer base remains a healthy ratio of 20% locals, 40% mainland visitors and 40% overseas visitors. The base for our overseas visitors continues to grow, with visitors coming from more than 100 countries and cities worldwide. Japan, Korea, South East Asia and India are the key sources for short-haul markets while the UK, US and Australia are key long-haul markets. Looking ahead, 2019 looks likely to be a year full of challenges for the tourism industry. sky100 will collaborate with Hong Kong attractions and hotel partners to launch unique packages and strengthen promotions in overseas markets. sky100 remains committed to contributing towards the robust development of Hong Kong's tourism industry and grasping new opportunities across the Greater Bay Area.”
