The Hong Kong Youth Hostels Association (HKYHA) is a pioneer in youth hostels service in Hong Kong.

The HKYHA is affiliated to the International Youth Hostels Federation which runs 4 200 youth hostels in over 80 countries worldwide. Members of HKYHA are entitled to use of all these facilities and related travel information.

The association is a non-profit-making organisation. Its mission is to provide simple and safe hostel style accommodation where its members venture beyond the congestion of the urban areas and enjoy the natural environment.

At present, the HKYHA operates seven hostels, all located in scenic rural parts of Hong Kong. Some of these hostels cater for outdoor education training programs such as basic survival skills or adversity training, leadership camps, and ecological walks through which environmental conservation concepts are promoted. The association's work is also supported by a large volunteer services group organising various outdoor exploration programs on a regular base to promote the well-being of the members.
