A Reunion of Travelers, A Preview of Journeys to Come

Guests—either returning from or soon to embark on I & J Travel’s coveted Wine and Dine Tour—were treated to a lavish banquet set against a lively atmosphere buzzing with anticipation. The evening served as a spirited prelude to the Hong Kong experience, complete with captivating live performances and interactive games inspired by the city and the vibrant Greater Bay Area.

Laughter echoed throughout the night during a series of Hong Kong-themed trivia challenges, where guests competed in fun-filled categories:

  • HK Pop Classics: Guess that Cantopop hit
  • Silver Screen Legends: Iconic films and stars of Hong Kong cinema
  • City Landmarks: Famous districts and must-see sights

Prizes were handed out throughout the evening, but the highlight came with the grand prize draw: two round-trip economy class tickets to Hong Kong, generously provided by Air Canada. One lucky guest walked away with the trip of a lifetime to Asia’s World City.

Honoring Loyalty, Inspiring Adventure

 “This exclusive event was our way of showing appreciation to our loyal Wine and Dine travelers and building excitement for the upcoming tour season,” said James Tang, Managing Director of I & J Travel. “With incredible support from the Hong Kong Tourism Board and Air Canada, we were able to bring a true taste of Hong Kong’s culture and energy right here in Calgary.”
