19/F Keen Hung Commercial Building 80 Queens Road East, Wanchai HK

The office where I work is very small and consists of 4 people plus me. The owner Mr. Ngai who I have not met, Fred my supervisor, Noelle and Esther the ladies who hold down the fort and keep it together. The focus of this travel agency is to promote inbound travel to China. Which by 2010 will be the most visited country in the world surpassing the current leader, France. The target market is travelers from the U.S. and Canada. The work environment is wonderful and the views from the office are spectacular. Located in the heart of Wan Chai it is a short walk from the MTR station. Wan Chai (Little Bay) had a reputation during the vietnam war as the anything goes red light district, but today it is mainly a centre for shopping, business and more upscale entertainment. I have been given a refreshing amount of freedom to come up with the project that I will work on, and I have chosen eco-tourism in Hong Kong. The island of Hong Kong - total area 1,098sq km, 40% is protected country park, 40% rural land, 20% urban. With hundreds of peaks, the highest being 965m. 230 islands surrounded with clear jade water, coral, sea caves & arches and powder white beaches it definitely is worth marketing to other ecotourism lovers! So my idea is to come up with a guide and maybe a few different itineraries for Hong Kong's green areas so as to appeal to different travellers. It has been exhilarating so far, I have learned so much about this destination I can even boast knowing more background info than some expats who have lived here for a few years! Any creative ideas? Writing tips hints and suggestions are always welcome!
