"The aim is to encourage more tourists to visit Hong Kong and to tie in with the Hong Kong tourism strategy with the full participation and support of the local community.
"Our intention is to enhance the importance of District Administration and tourism in Hong Kong at the same time."
Mrs Lau thanked the Hong Kong Tourist Association for its pledge to support the 18-District Tourism Promotion Project.
The Hong Kong Convention Ambassador Programme was inaugurated by the Hong Kong Tourist Association in November 1994.
The objective is to encourage local people to help build up Hong Kong's international status by spreading positive messages to their overseas counterparts and associates about the city and its attractions as an international convention destination.
Over 600 professionals, academics and association executives have been appointed as Hong Kong Convention Ambassadors so far.
Also attending the ceremony today were Legislative Councillor, Mr Howard Young; the Secretary for Economic Services, Mr Gordon Siu; and the Executive Director of the Hong Kong Tourist Association, Mrs Amy Chan.
