An annually held event, the 2012 production saw the celebrations take on even greater spirits with shopping promotions, live music and all in all, a truly fun weekend.
Last year, visitors to the Summer Spectacular were treated to a shopping extravaganza like no other with beautiful clothing items being sold at amazingly low prices. To add to the frenzy, a Visa sponsored draw was made with the winner receiving a stunning HK$200,000 and spending credit were given to ten additional shoppers. As if this wasn’t a good enough reason to embark on a great shopping expedition, Visa also rewarded their customers who shopped during the Hong Kong Summer Spectacular with gift vouchers, numerous other promotions and rewards.
Another attraction that took place at this summery extravaganza was the Visa Go Hong Kong Super Shopper. Fondly called ‘The Olympics of Shopping’, by the organisers, this event involved teams competing against one another in attempting to create the best travel and shopping plans in Asia. The result was a tie with both team Mainland China and team Thailand managing to come first place and claim their hefty prize of HK$20, 000 spending credit.
For those who feel that summer is all about live music and good food, the 2012 Summer Pop – Live made a spectacular start to the festival while the Land Kwai Fond Beer & Music Fest was complete with delicious food, live music, performances and a variety of beers from all corners of the globe. Complete with a number of eating and drinking games as well, this Fest was surely one for the ages.
For those who wish to experience this fiesta firsthand, this year, the Hong Kong Summer Spectacular will be held from the 21st June to 31st August and booking your Hong Kong hotel early is recommended. For those searching for a Wan Chai hotel Hong Kong, it is imperative that bookings are made early for, during this time, accommodation becomes difficult to come by. For those who wish to experience summer the way it should be experienced, ensure that you stay at Cosmopolitan Hotel Hong Kong.
