Cathay Pacific
receives more than one million entries for 'The World's Biggest
Welcome' lucky draw
The Hong Kong public rushed
to submit last-minute entries to "The World's Biggest
Welcome" before the midnight deadline yesterday (Saturday, 2
February). "The World's Biggest Welcome" is Cathay Pacific's
biggest-ever campaign to promote tourism in Hong Kong. With more than
one million entries received in the eight days since the campaign's
launch, it is believed this is the most popular lucky draw ever held
by a company in the private sector in Hong Kong. Around 276,000
entries were received on Saturday alone.
Cathay Pacific extended its sincere thanks to all those who helped
make the campaign such a success, including the people of Hong Kong.
The airline believes the campaign can boost Hong Kong's tourism and
bring benefits to the local economy.
At 11pm on Saturday, as the deadline for entries approached, the
drop-off points at six MTR stations were buzzing with excitement. Many
people only realised that entries were about to close as they passed
through the MTR station. Some rushed to call their overseas friends
and relatives so they could fill in the lucky draw entry forms there
and then. Others who had already completed their forms made a
last-minute dash to the drop-off points. Several latecomers were
disappointed to arrive after midnight and find collection boxes
sealed.
Among the last to submit their entry forms at Causeway Bay MTR station
were students Carman Man and Hazel Ng, and a clerk named Miss Chan.
Carman and Hazel, both studying in the Faculty of Business
Administration at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said they had
already submitted forms, but when they realised during dinner that
Saturday was the last chance to submit, they hurried to submit more
entries. They both nominated a good friend from Malaysia who came to
the Chinese University as an exchange student last year. If they win a
free ticket for their friend they said they would take her to enjoy
Hong Kong's great food and have fun at Ocean Park.
Commenting on "The World's Biggest Welcome" campaign, Carman
said: "It's a smart strategy. On the one hand, Cathay can promote
itself and let Hong Kong people see its commitment to boosting the
local economy. On the other hand, Hong Kong will benefit from an extra
10,000 inbound visitors who will spend money and spread the good word
about Hong Kong back in their home country. Cathay has successfully
built a good image among the people Hong Kong. I think it's
fantastic."
Miss Chan discovered the lucky draw was about to close when she was
buying her MTR ticket. She hurried to complete a form and nominated
her nephew in Toronto.
The first 100 winners in "The World's Biggest Welcome" were
picked in initial draws held at Times Square from Wednesday to
Saturday. In addition to a free return ticket for their nominees, each
won two air tickets for their own travel. All 100 initial winners
automatically qualify for the special Grand Draw on 5 February, which
will determine the winner of a special Mega Prize. The remaining
winners will be drawn on 6 February 2002 and notified by mail.
Full details of the campaign together with the terms and conditions of
the draw can be viewed at the Cathay Pacific Website: www.cathaypacific.com.hk
