The board on Tuesday unveiled new additions to the campaign, which include buy-one-get-one-free offers on set dinners or à la carte dishes from renowned Cantonese restaurants, early-bird discounts for family-friendly facilities, and deals from various tourist attractions, as well as offers for popular fast-food items.
More than 100 hotels would continue to provide buy-one-get-one-free buffet lunches or dinners, alongside accommodation discounts, it said.
Initially launched in the second half of June in collaboration with local businesses, the board said the campaign had garnered overwhelming support, adding that the number of offers and discounts available on its 'Hong Kong Summer Viva' website had grown from 150 to more than 260.
'Most of the offers and discounts are available for collection or redemption until August 31.' the board said, urging locals and visitors to enjoy value-added fun on top of their summertime experience.

Hong Kong exports rise 11.9%, with strong showing in mainland China, Asia markets
Hong Kong's exports jumped by 11.9 per cent in June from a year ago, with the government attributing the sustained performance to the continued expansion of sales to mainland China and other Asian markets while trade with the West fell. Advertisement Growth tapered off from a 15.5 per cent year-on-year increase in May, as exports to the United States and European Union declined in June amid the ongoing US-China trade war. The value of total exports reached HK$$417.8 billion (US$53.5 billion) in June, the Census and Statistics Department said on Monday. A government spokesman said exports to the mainland and other Asian markets continued to 'expand visibly', while those to the US and EU fell. 'Looking ahead, the sustained steady growth in various Asian economies, in particular, the mainland economy, as well as Hong Kong's enhanced economic and trade ties with different markets, should continue to support merchandise trade performance,' the spokesman said. Advertisement 'Nonetheless, the outlook of global trade policy is still uncertain. The government will continue to monitor the situation closely and stay vigilant.'

China's yuan reshaping global order – but US-backed stablecoins seen as a threat
The yuan's internationalisation remains on an upwards, if uneven, trajectory and is gradually reshaping the global monetary order, according to a new study released at a high-profile economic forum in Beijing – though some participants warned US efforts to dominate digital finance pose risks. Advertisement The yuan internationalisation index, which tracks the currency's global use, rose by about 11 per cent in 2024 to 6.06, according to the Renmin University report released at this year's International Monetary Forum, co-hosted with Nankai University on Sunday. By comparison, the US dollar scored 51.13 in 2024, down from 51.52 the previous year, while the euro slipped 3.8 per cent to 24.07 on the index. Meanwhile, the yuan ranked ahead of the British pound and Japanese yen, which scored 4.47 and 3.69 respectively. The report predicted the Chinese currency would strengthen further and widen the gap with both. Beijing has worked to steadily increase the yuan's global use – especially as it doubles down on efforts to manage risks in cross-border capital flows. Advertisement 'The spillover effects of geoeconomic shocks have not only weighed on China's real economy and financial markets, but also disrupted global trade and investment systems, supply chains and international financial markets,' the report's authors wrote.
