The bus will be touring the city from November 18 until the last day of the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals on December 15.

The event’s significance was highlighted by BWF Events Director Darren Parks, who expressed his excitement and described the World Tour Finals bus as a fantastic concept to generate fan interest.
