Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited (“HML”), the professional private management company responsible for the daily operation of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (“HKCEC”), welcomes the announcement by the Hong Kong SAR Government for further relaxation of anti-COVID-19 measures. With the removing of Amber code, the three-day of medical surveillance, and restrictions for inbound visitors, HML is ready to welcome international visitors and events back to the HKCEC.
On 13 December 2022, the Hong Kong SAR Government removed the remaining restrictions and announced that all arrivals from 14 December 2022 who are tested negative will be given a Blue code and can attend events and go to any places and restaurants freely.
Ms. Monica Lee-Müller, Managing Director of HML, said, “This is certainly a big and important step for the event industry to rebound that we have been waiting for. With the strong demand for physical events, the prime location of the HKCEC in Hong Kong’s central business district, HML’s experience and expertise in serving world-class events, and our continuous investment in infrastructure and facility upgrade, I am confident that the HKCEC will continue to win the votes of confidence of event organisers, exhibitors, and buyers, and rise above the challenges of COVID-19.”
A few well-established trade fairs have earlier announced their return to the HKCEC, including:
Hong Kong International Fur & Fashion Fair will be held on 22-25 February 2023
Jewellery & GEM ASIA Hong Kong (JGA) will be held on 22-25 June 2023
Jewellery & GEM WORLD Hong Kong (JGW) will be held on 20-24 September 2023
