Travel abroad without taking leave on weekends and treat yourself to a fun mini-trip to recharge. The Hong Kong Tourism Board has planned budget-friendly yet indulgent getaways for the savvy office worker — “indulge in Hong Kong travel at the lowest possible cost,” even leaving right after work on Friday and still having time to hit three bars in a row.

Starting April 15, the Hong Kong Tourism Board is launching an online travel fair where you can book a stay at the newly opened The Murray Hotel for just NT$8,888 (before tax). The online travel fair is open for limited-time flash sales for only eight days, letting office workers enjoy an indulgent trip to Hong Kong — just go when you feel like it.

The Hong Kong Tourism Board has outlined seven super-low “indulgence costs” for Taiwanese travelers: zero planning time, zero leave costs, zero souvenir expenses, one-minute Hong Kong visa processing, ten-minute flight booking, eighty-minute flight duration, and round-trip Hong Kong flights for just NT$6,000. Depart for Hong Kong right after work.

Taiwanese travelers only need to spend the cost of a concert ticket in the rock zone to get round-trip Hong Kong flights every day, without waiting for budget airline promotions — super convenient. In fact, you can arrive in Hong Kong within the 80 minutes it takes for a movie to finish, making these some of Hong Kong’s most appealing travel features.

Hong Kong’s bar culture has always been one of the favorite experiences for office worker travelers. Why not add a bar-hopping experience to your indulgent getaway and explore Hong Kong’s popular new bars all in one night? Recommended spots include the spy-themed bar Foxglove, the legendary New York bar Please Don’t Tell (PDT), the Hemingway-themed bar The Old Man, and the prison-themed bar Behind Bars at Tai Kwun. These venues feature not only world-class mixologists but also uniquely themed décor that’s well worth a visit.
