The 21st Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair held along with the 49th HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair and 14th HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair welcomed over 21,000 buyers from some 100 countries and regions who participated physically and online. More than 12,200 buyers attended the three fairs in-person.
HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Sophia Chong said: “The HKTDC has promoted the fairs in the past few months, and actively invited quality exhibitors and buyers from around the world to participate in-person. Following the resumption of quarantine-free travel between the mainland and Hong Kong, we are happy to see buyers from Mainland China, ASEAN and the wider Asia region, Europe and the Americas travel to Hong Kong for the fairs. Business travel in Hong Kong is gradually returning to normal, with industry being more optimistic about the future. This is welcome news for our upcoming fairs.”
“While much has changed since the pandemic, one thing has remained the same: the fair continues to attract a strong diversity of international visitors,” says Judy Cheung, Deputy General Manager, Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. “With the borders with Mainland China opening the day before the fair began, exhibitors were pleased to connect with new and old clients from near and afar.”
The next edition of the Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair will take place in January 2024.
