The Hong Kong Tourism Board is helping to host the 108th Lions International Convention 2026 in Hong Kong. Having previously hosted the convention in 1992 and 2005, Hong Kong was again been chosen by Lions Clubs International as the venue for its flagship event, which attracts around 17,000 delegates from across the globe.
HKTB chairman Dr Peter Lam said: “HKTB is delighted to partner with the Lions Clubs International District 303 Hong Kong and Macao, China, to bring this convention to Hong Kong for the third time.”
“We extend our warmest welcome to Lions from around the world and, together with our industry partners, have curated exclusive itineraries and experiences to encourage delegates to stay longer and discover the unique appeal that can be found only in Hong Kong,” he added.
Lions Clubs International has 1.4m members and around 50,000 district clubs across over 200 countries and regions. Since 1917, the organisation has supported communities worldwide through a wide range of social service and community aid initiatives.
Lions International Convention 2026 honorary chairman and past international president Dr Tam Wing-kun said: “I am delighted that the convention has returned to Hong Kong. This year’s edition will provide Lions from all corners of the world with a broad and diverse platform to explore the future development of international services. Delegates will also be able to experience first-hand Hong Kong’s world-class cuisine and rich cultural appeal. I am confident they will be the best ambassadors possible when they return home, telling the good stories of Hong Kong to the world.”
The convention runs for five days until 7 July at AsiaWorld-Expo. To celebrate its return to Hong Kong and promote traditional Chinese culture, the organiser will attempt to set a world record with thousands of international Lions practising Tai Chi simultaneously.
HKTB has teamed up with local travel trade and major attractions to curate a series of exclusive tourism itineraries and offerings for Lions convention delegates. These include transport offers, attraction tickets and shopping mall discounts, gift redemptions, and theme park deals to encourage delegates to stay in Hong Kong after the convention and explore more of the city.
