Dragonair Welcomes Further Cooperation in Tourism under CEPA VII Agreement

(HONG KONG) Dragonair welcomes the Supplement VII under the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) which further liberalises trade in services and enhances co-operation in trade and investment facilitation, in particular the measures on tourism and air transport.

The new measures would offer more opportunities for Hong Kong travel agents and in turn enhance the development of the tourism and air transport. It certainly helps boost travel and traffic between Mainland and Hong Kong which will benefit all players involved in the long run.

Dragonair has been recognised for its product and service quality, and was voted "World's Best Regional Airline" in the annual World Airline Survey run by Skytrax in 2010. Dragonair is part of the Cathay Pacific Group, providing seamless connectivity for passengers to more than 100 cities around the globe.
