Get ready Rugby Sevens fans! This year, the Hong Kong Sevens is not just bringing together some of the most talented players from around the world; it's also brought in top Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth, who made a surprise appearance at Hong Kong's Ocean Terminal, where he showcased his skilful rugby kick-off by the iconic Victoria Harbour with Hong Kong Island's spectacular skyline as the backdrop.
In keeping with the excitement of the Hong Kong Sevens, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) has also joined hands with the Hong Kong Rugby Union and Hong Kong. Tramways to launch the first ever Hong Kong Sevens Bar Tram.
Running until 10 April, the Bar Trams – three vintage open-top trams doubling as mobile bars – will run along Hong Kong Island. They will pick up registered tourists and rugby fans for a free party ride, which comes with complimentary drinks. Taking the rugby fiesta beyond the Hong Kong Stadium, this is a unique opportunity for guests to enjoy the pulsating metropolis of Hong Kong from another perspective and encourage them to dive into the local trendsetting nightlife.
Dr Peter Lam, Chairman of the HKTB, said: “The Hong Kong Sevens is one of the biggest sport events held here in Hong Kong and always draws a large flock of rugby fans to our city every year. This event is crucial for reinforcing Hong Kong's reputation as the “Events Capital of Asia”, and an important means of boosting local businesses. To enhance the promotion of this mega event, the HKTB is using additional funding from the Government to launch the Hong Kong Sevens Bar Tram for the first time to offer a refreshing experience for tourists and rugby fans.”
