The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) held a Hong Kong Convention Ambassador (HKCA) Appreciation Night on May 20, 2024, at Rosewood Hong Kong, where the event celebrated its ambassadors from 12 sectors for successfully bringing around 70 conventions to Hong Kong, attracting about 70,000 high-spending visitors.
Pang Yiu-Kai, chairman of HKTB said: “The programme has proven its value in just three remarkable years. We are truly grateful to have over 140 top leaders from the local business community and the Mainland as advocates for Hong Kong’s conventions sector.
A lion’s share of HKCAs are leaders of the medical sciences industry, and the regional and global medical congresses brought in by these HKCAs comprise more than half of recent event wins.
Hong Kong International Airport also saw recent success in securing multiple conventions and exhibitions to the city, including, IATA World Cargo Symposium 2024, Super Terminal Expo 2024, Routes World 2025 and more.
