Two international conferences will be held in Hong Kong for the first time this month, Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu has revealed, pledging the government will continue to strive for more events to attract high-end tourists and enhance the city’s global network.
Lee on Tuesday said several international conferences had made their Hong Kong debuts over the past three years, and two more important events would follow this month.
They are the International Science, Technology and Innovation Forum of the Boao Forum for Asia 2025, taking place from Friday to Saturday, and the International Conference on Roads and Railways 2025, taking place next Thursday and Friday.
Both will be hosted at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai.
“International major conferences represent the high-quality segment of the conference economy. They attract high-spending, overnight and high-end business travellers to Hong Kong. The government will continue its efforts to bring more new and large-scale international conferences to Hong Kong.”
