About EGL Tours Company Limited
EGL Tours Company Limited is a Hong Kong travel agency whose roots go back to Evergloss Tours, founded in 1971, and which today belongs to EGL Holdings Company Limited, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (6882) since 2014. Its official website, published in Chinese, sells package tours, free-independent-traveller packages, air tickets, hotels, cruises and local experiences, from its head office at EGL Tower in Kwun Tong, Kowloon.
The company is Hong Kong's leading Japan specialist: its own team of tour guides — more than 60 holding Japan's washoku food-adviser qualification — and its EGL Japan Travel Lab develop in-depth itineraries beyond Tokyo and Osaka, built around hot springs, local gastronomy and little-visited regions. The company's founder was appointed tourism ambassador by 40 Japanese prefectures and cities, and the group also runs its own hotels in Osaka and Okinawa, reinforcing its first-hand knowledge of the destination.
Alongside Japan, EGL operates its own products in mainland China — such as Yangtze River Three Gorges cruises and Yunnan itineraries — in Macau and in destinations worldwide, combining an online booking platform with a network of physical branches across Hong Kong. Its offer is completed by tailor-made travel, incentive trips and ancillary travel services for individual and corporate clients, delivered by a group of around 440 employees.
