HONG Kong attraction Ngong Ping 360 is gaining a new lease on life with a sensory tourism programme to debut this year plus a new MICE space.
The Monkey Theatre at Ngong Ping Village will be relaunched in 2Q with a 3D theatre and a live theatre for action-packed performances themed on classic Hong Kong movies. By the end of the year, additional themed activities such as movie stunt demonstrations will also commence at the Village.
Other programmes to begin in the second half of 2014 include the Dining in Silence (DIS) and Aerial Wire Experience. Holiday accommodation packages and afternoon tea tours will also be offered for the first time.
Meanwhile, part of the Ngong Ping 360 terminal will be converted into a new 310m2 MICE venue from 3Q called 360 Dialogue, offering teambuilding activities in total darkness.
“Our team started approaching corporates in recent months to market our new one-day MICE programme, combining a half-day DIS session for food appreciation and interaction in total silence with optional activities such as hiking and visits to Tai O,” said Stella Kwan, head of commerce for the attraction.
Ngong Ping 360 has implemented a new online ticketing system allowing mobile ticketing and reservation of return trip tickets. A new audio guide can also be downloaded via WeChat.
