ABSTRACT Since Beames and Brown’s initial study in 2005, ‘Outdoor Education in Hong Kong: Past, Present, and Future’, outdoor education in Hong Kong has continued to evolve. Two decades later, factors such as social media, periods of social unrest and the COVID-19 pandemic have profoundly influenced the culture of Hong Kong and, consequently, outdoor education. This study employed an exploratory mixed methods approach to evaluate and compare the industry’s transformation since the original paper.
