corporate annual dinners wedding banquets and seminars. According to the HKCEC,
the exhibitions and conferences in the period covered various themes, like
horse racing, trademarks, building technology, lighting and security, antiques
and wines.
Monica Lee-Müller,
managing director of Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management)
Ltd, said, “Just considering Art Basel in Hong Kong
and Vinexpo Asia Pacific,
the total visitor number rose markedly by 9.4%. The high-spending visitors of
these two exhibitions came from around the world… This again affirms that the
convention and exhibition industries are the mainstay of Hong Kong’s business
travel industry and underlines HKCEC’s leading role in bringing economic
benefits to Hong Kong through its convention and exhibition events.”
