Episode Airs Sunday on GTV

The episode, promoted as “Biyahe ni Drew Presents May Ganon sa Hong Kong,” will air on GTV at 6:15 p.m. on Sunday, the network announced. The show is part of the long-running travel program produced by GMA Public Affairs.

In an Instagram post dated March 26, the show’s official account teased the episode with a clip showing Drew in Hong Kong. The caption read: “Maniniwala ba kayo na may iba’t ibang water activities sa Hong Kong? Sa Sai Kung area, lilibutin ni Biyahero Drew ang mga isla at dam.”

Sai Kung: Islands, Dams, and Seafood

Water Activities Beyond the City

The episode focuses on Sai Kung, a district in the New Territories known for its rugged coastline, islands, and seafood market. Drew explores multiple islands using local boats, including visits to small dams and hidden beaches.

According to the network’s news release, the segment highlights the variety of water activities available in the area, such as kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and boat tours. The show also features the Sai Kung Promenade, a popular waterfront strip lined with seafood restaurants.

Fresh Seafood Straight from the Boat

In a related post on X (formerly Twitter), the program noted: “Sa Sai Kung, Hong Kong, sari-saring seafood ang matitikman ng bawat biyaherong pupunta rito! Sigurado ring fresh ang mga seafood na ihahain sa inyo dahil.” The post did not complete the sentence, but it underscored the district’s reputation for serving catch-of-the-day straight from fishing boats.

Viewers can expect Drew to sample local specialties such as steamed fish, shrimp, and crab at the Sai Kung Fish Market, where vendors sell directly from their boats.

Hong Kong Tourism Rebounds

The episode comes amid a recovery in Hong Kong’s tourism sector. The Hong Kong Tourism Board reported that visitor arrivals reached 34.7 million in 2024, a 31 percent increase from 2023. The city has been actively promoting lesser-known destinations like Sai Kung to diversify visitor experiences beyond shopping and dining in Central and Tsim Sha Tsui.

In 2024, the Philippine Department of Tourism noted that Hong Kong remained a top destination for Filipino travelers, with over 600,000 Filipinos visiting the city that year.
