Destination Guide

Hong Kong is a compact, energetic destination with strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, retail, finance and professional services. Although best known as a city, it includes Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, along with numerous outlying islands. Cantonese is the main local language, while English is widely used in business and hospitality. The culture combines Chinese traditions with international influences, and festivals, temples, markets and modern entertainment are all part of daily life. Public transport is efficient, but housing is expensive and living spaces are often small. Employees should budget carefully for rent, transport and food. Overseas professionals generally need an employment visa sponsored by their employer, and the role must meet immigration requirements. A valid passport, signed contract and supporting qualifications are normally required. Healthcare is well developed, and the city offers excellent connectivity throughout Asia.
