Dane Cheng to step down as head of Hong Kong Tourism Board in October
NeutralFinancial Markets

Dane Cheng Ting-yat, the longtime head of Hong Kong’s Tourism Board, is calling it quits this October when his contract wraps up. After six years steering the city’s tourism strategy—including navigating the brutal pandemic years—he’s reportedly planning to take a breather. The board’s already hunting for his replacement, with job ads popping up on LinkedIn and their website.
Editor’s Note: Cheng’s departure marks the end of an era for Hong Kong’s tourism recovery efforts, which faced unprecedented challenges under his watch. While it’s a routine leadership change, his successor will inherit the tricky job of reviving the city’s global appeal amid shifting travel trends and geopolitical tensions. Not exactly a crisis, but definitely a transition worth watching.
