26 - 31
2019

On May 26-31, 2019, Brand USA partnered up with United Airlines to host an incentive familiarization trip for eight Hong Kong travel trade wholesalers to San Francisco, California and Las Vegas, Nevada. The main objective of this trip was to showcase diver incentive resources in San Francisco and Las Vegas. Besides visiting classic attractions, the Hong Kong agents were trained with hotels, conventions, and MICE facilities in the USA.

This multi-destination tour began with a San Francisco Bay cruise. Hopping on a Big Bus to discover the beauty of San Francisco is also a lovely way to sightsee. The newly renovated Moscone Center and SFMOMA are perfect for hosting events. Finally, viewing the stunning sunset at Pier 39 can be the perfect way to end a day in the city. It takes less than 2 hours to fly from San Francisco to Las Vegas, allowing you to experience completely different vibes of the city. The Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas is a must-see. You also don’t want to miss the High Roller Observation Wheel. It is the world’s tallest ferries wheel, soaring in the dazzling sky of Las Vegas with a sweeping 360-degree view. For thrill-seekers, riding from 12 stories above, Fly LINQ Zipline prepares you to scream and laugh during your ride. By experiencing these innovative tours and activities, one can discover the endless charm of San Francisco and Las Vegas.

United Airlines is committed to providing Hong Kong customers convenient and comfortable travel to the U.S, offering daily nonstop service from Hong Kong to San Francisco, New York/Newark and Chicago with connections to more than 280 destinations in the Americas. With the introduction of the new Boeing 777-300ER to Hong Kong – San Francisco and Hong Kong – New York/ Newark route, travelers will be able to enjoy the signature United Polaris Business class seat and the recently revealed United Premium Plus. In addition to the enhanced inflight services, customers flying with United Polaris will be able to relax and dine in United Polaris lounge in San Francisco.
