Creative tourist experiences and the environmental settings of creative attractions contribute to healthy and sustainable creative tourism. Taking the case of a popular cultural hub and creative attraction Hong Kong’s Police Married Quarters, this paper presents an empirical study on the experiential and environmental perception of creative visitors in Hong Kong. The study reveals that creative tourist experience is associated with esthetics, involvement, and education. Creative environmental attributes, as measured by visitor satisfaction, comprise facilities, catering, and accessibility. Participation and a distinctive spatial layout are also valued in creative tourism. From the findings, it is proposed that that Hong Kong’s creative tourism product and development should be better linked to its creative industry chain; at the same time, there should also be a closer relationship between different creative sectors, actors, and the local community at large
