It's one of the major events of the year at Hong Kong<\/strong> The Hong Kong Sevens, a rugby sevens tournament renowned for its unique atmosphere, was held at the end of March. For this 2025 edition, the competition moved to the Kai Tak Sports Park (50,000 seats). In terms of the travel involved for the European teams in particular, the relocation will have had only a limited impact, as the competition is one of the longest away legs of the year for most of the participants: a 12-hour flight for the French team, for example. As a symbol of this, an airline is sponsoring the event: Cathay Pacific<\/a><\/strong> in this case. It's an opportunity to take a look at the 'daily lives' of some rather special business travellers: top sportsmen and women, who have to travel every week, with a performance obligation<\/strong> which, more than ever, goes hand in hand with a duty to set an example<\/strong> in the face of global warming.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
