Centre (HKCEC) were up by 7.1% to US$19 million.
HKTDC executive
director, Fred Lam, stated in the annual report, “As the world intensified its
focus on Asia in 2011/12, our goal was to ensure that Hong Kong remained a
priority business platform for eastward-looking companies. With that as our
guiding principle, we organised events and missions to key area of the world…
offered meaningful opportunities for Hong Kong businesses.”
