Cathay Pacific International Chinese New Year Night Parade
An estimated 200,000 revellers lined the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui on Sunday night (18 February) to soak up the festive atmosphere at the Cathay Pacific International Chinese New Year Night Parade.
Cathay Pacific has been title sponsor of this internationally acclaimed event for many years, keeping its tradition of leading the parade with a specially designed float and a big contingent of uniformed staff to symbolise the Group's continued growth. An exciting line-up of 40 groups, including 13 floats and 15 overseas and 12 local performing troupes, thrilled the local people and overseas visitors who lined the parade route.
Cathay Pacific Chief Executive Philip Chen was among the officiating guests at the event, along with Henry Tang, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government, Au King-chi, Commissioner for Tourism, and the Hong Kong Tourism Board's Chairman Board Selina Chow and Executive Director Clara Chong.
