News this week: According to Hong Kong’s Secretary for Commerce and Economic
Development, Greg So Kam-leung, the special administrative region’s government
has no current plans to expand the Hong Kong
Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC).
Instead, the government is calling for more co-operation
between the HKCEC and the AsiaWorld-Expo
(AWE), Hong Kong’s other international exhibition venue which opened in 2005
with 70,000 m2 of rentable space. At present, the September Hong Kong
Jewellery & Gem Fair, organised by UBM
Asia, is the only exhibition that adopts a “one show, two venues” model.
Greg So was quoted saying, “Our first priority will be
encouraging co-operation between the two venues so we can better use our
resources. We will also encourage exhibitors to hold their shows during
non-peak seasons. ”
