Anthony Lau Chun-hon, the head of a government office aimed at attracting global talent, will return to the Hong Kong Tourism Board next month as its new executive director.
Lau, who held the same position from 2007 to 2019, will succeed Dane Cheng Ting-yat starting August 4, according to the board.
'Lau brings with him extensive experience in tourism and marketing, along with excellent leadership and governance capabilities, making him an ideal candidate for the role of executive director,' board chairman Peter Lam Kin-ngok said on Tuesday.
'I have confidence in Lau that he will lead the Hong Kong Tourism Board team in close collaboration with the industry and various stakeholders to bring the tourism industry to new heights … and maximise the contribution of the tourism industry to Hong Kong.'
He also thanked Cheng for his dedicated service over the past six years, saying that under his leadership, the body had successfully navigated the challenges of the global pandemic and driven a steady recovery in tourism.
Lau previously worked closely alongside Lam, who served as the board chairman between 2013 and 2019 before returning for the top role in April.
