The Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA) is committed to providing timely and appropriate services that address pressing social needs. In the midst of the 2020 global epidemic, the HKQAA launched the “Anti-Epidemic Hygiene Measures Certification Scheme” to encourage various sectors to adopt appropriate hygiene measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The HKQAA partnered with the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) to encourage tourism-related businesses to participate in the Scheme. The aim is to strengthen public and visitor confidence in out-of-home consumption and travel.

Due to the adjustment of the local anti-epidemic measures, the Scheme was closed on 31 March 2024 with its mission fulfilled.
