Regal Hotels aligns Hong Kong 2026 strategy with airport MICE capacity and green meetings

✈️ In this TravelDailyNews Travel Dialogues episode, Balwin Yeung, Senior Vice President Commercial at Regal Hotels, shares how Hong Kong’s tourism rebound is shaping the group’s commercial strategy for 2026. He explains why short-haul Asian markets are driving growth, how high airfares and limited long-haul capacity affect European and US demand, and why Hong Kong still holds a strong value-for-money position for business and leisure travel.

Balwin outlines the “twin powerhouse” strategy of Regala Sky City Hotel and Regal Airport Hotel, two large properties directly connected to Hong Kong International Airport and AsiaWorld-Expo. He details their combined MICE capabilities, including mega ballrooms, extensive breakout space and seamless operations under one team, which simplify contracting and logistics for large-scale events and conferences.

The discussion also focuses on Regal Hotels’ Green Meetings programme, certified by the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA). Balwin explains how carbon accounting, consultancy, low-carbon menus and offsetting options help clients run more responsible events and support ESG reporting. He then discusses Regal’s decision to join GHA Discovery, how the alliance opens access to 28 million members worldwide and why this “perfect marriage” enhances Regal’s visibility in Europe, the Middle East and key international source markets.
