Hong Kong Hosts Lions International Convention for Third Time, Reinforcing Status as Asia's World City

The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) is supporting the 108th Lions International Convention 2026, held from July 3 to 7 at AsiaWorld-Expo, marking the third time Hong Kong has hosted this flagship event after 1992 and 2005. With around 17,000 international delegates, Hong Kong becomes one of the few cities among over 200 Lions member countries and regions to secure hosting rights three times, cementing its status as the Events Capital of Asia and the World's Meeting Place.

HKTB Chairman Dr. Peter Lam stated, 'HKTB is delighted to partner with the Lions Clubs International District 303 Hong Kong and Macao, China, to bring this Convention to Hong Kong for the third time. Its return affirms Hong Kong's position as the World's Meeting Place and a top-of-mind destination for MICE tourism.' The convention showcases Hong Kong's integrated strengths in world-class MICE infrastructure, global aviation connectivity, diverse tourism offerings, and quality hospitality services, which are key factors in attracting international MICE events.

Lions Clubs International, one of the world's largest service organisations with over 1.4 million members and 50,000 district clubs across 200 countries, has supported communities worldwide since 1917. The convention provides a platform for exploring future international service development and allows delegates to experience Hong Kong's world-class cuisine and cultural appeal.

A highlight of the convention is an attempt to set a world record with thousands of international Lions practising Tai Chi simultaneously, promoting exercise and deepening understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals. HKTB has teamed up with the local travel trade and major attractions to offer exclusive itineraries, transport offers, attraction tickets, shopping mall discounts, gift redemptions, and theme park deals to encourage delegates to stay longer and explore Hong Kong's diverse culture and cuisine.
