When visiting Hong Kong, it’s important to note that medical charges for visitors are typically higher than those for local residents. To avoid unexpected expenses in the event of illness or injury, it is highly recommended that travellers purchase travel insurance before departing for Hong Kong. If you plan to participate in sports activities such as hiking, cycling or water sports, be sure to verify that these activities are covered by your insurance for added protection.
