“My Dream Holiday”

My destination for my dream holiday will be Hong Kong. The reason is that I had never been there before and I can visit my friend who is living there. I often heard that Hong Kong is very similar to Singapore and I want to see the similarity by myself instead of just hearing what other had said. I often watch drama from Hong Kong hence from the drama I heard about names of some famous or popular street. However I never had to chance to visit them personally. This would be a good chance for me to do so. A visit to Ocean Park and Disneyland would be great. Although I know that the Disneyland in Hong Kong is not as great as those in Japan, it is still a must go attraction.

Since Hong Kong population is mainly Chinese, language will not be a problem and I can understand simple Cantonese as I always watched Hong Kong's drama. It not a good idea to go somewhere when you even has problem communicating with the people there.

I had gathered some of information regarding Hong Kong from Hong Kong Tourism Board. However before using the information from there, I would have to evaluate it to see if the content are trustable in order not to mess up my dream holiday.

For this website, I will evaluate it based on purpose, coverage and usability.

The aim of the website is stated very clearly. The purpose of Hong Kong Tourism Board is to market and promote Hong Kong as a travel destination worldwide and to enhance visitors' experience once they arrive. It is an official website by the government of Hong Kong. Hence the information of this website should be pretty accurate. I am sure the government will not want to give inaccurate information and turn potential tourists away.


The coverage of this website is mainly on the places and attractions that the tourists can go. It is very comprehensive. An example is that it provides very detail information on the tour that it has. Example of details is the pricing and duration of tours. Specific telephone number and website link are also given to provide tourists with extra help should they need it.

The usability of this website is very high. The navigation bar on the left is simple and easy to use. Users don't have to be tech-savvy to use it. It will not attract potential tourists if getting around the website is tedious task.

In general, I will think that this website is great for those who are doing their planning before going to Hong Kong. It will help the tourists to do their planning even before stepping their feet on the land of Hong Kong.
