Hong Kong offers strong opportunities in luxury hotels, property management, finance, technology, aviation, retail and international business. Although commonly called an island destination, Hong Kong includes Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, linked by efficient rail, ferry and road networks. The culture blends Cantonese traditions with international influences; respect, punctuality and a fast working pace are important. Life is highly urban, convenient and relatively expensive, with excellent dining, shopping, hiking, beaches and public transport. Foreign professionals normally need an approved employment visa before starting work, with the employer providing supporting documentation; eligibility depends on qualifications, experience, salary and the role’s local need.
