The city’s accessibility is a key advantage: visa-free access for nationals of around 170 countries and regions; half the world’s population within a five-hour flight; around 1,000 flights daily to and from some 170 destinations worldwide, including 50 Mainland China cities.
In particular, it is Hong Kong’s role connecting the Mainland with the rest of the world that is paramount to its continued economic success, and draws people, commerce and finance from around the world and from north of the border.
