HKHCF initiated “Tai O Stilt Houses Rehabilitation Programme” in 2018. The programme aims to repair and restore Tai O stilt houses where needed, especially for the elderly villagers, so as to conserve the intangible cultural value of the village. The project has seen 6 stilt houses restored since 2018.

HKHCF furthers its efforts in supporting sustainable tourism and nurturing future leaders with the launch of the Hospitality Young Leaders Programme. This comprehensive programme spans six months and aspires young leaders to learn practical and professional skills about hospitality and conservation. It also fosters understanding in our unique Hong Kong history and culture and positive contribution to our society and community.

In partnership with YWCA Tai O and Family Welfare Society Tai O, Tai O Villagers’ Family Photography Service offered elderlies and villages a retake of wedding photos and family photos at the hotel. The villagers shared touching and memorable moments and community stories during their photo sessions.

To raise public awareness on the importance of conserving heritage buildings, Annual Open House events are conducted for the public and charity groups at the hotel. Each year, the event receives over 2,000 local and international visitors and conducts more than 200 docent tours.
