"Hong Kong is a great place to base a travel business because it is the central hub of the region. Given we were contracting with hotels in 21 countries, it makes a great stepping off point. In time we moved our back office functions to other countries when it made commercial sense, but Hong Kong remains the holding company hub because of its sophisticated financial services, lack of corruption, simple structures and ease of communication."
