Now celebrating its fifth anniversary,
AsiaWorld-Expo is a world-renowned exhibition and conference venue that
has welcomed millions of visitors from around the globe, and generates over US$1
billion for Hong Kong’s economy per
year. Since the venue’s launch in 2006, visitor
numbers coming for the recurrent trade fairs in the
peak seasons of spring and autumn have increased dramatically, rising
40% in the last three years alone with over 300,000
regional and global buyers now attending these
events each year. In 2009, AsiaWorld-Expo
recorded another record year, with over 2 million
visitors. |

A highlight of the annual calendar is the
landmark China
Sourcing Fairs, which features
over 14,000
exhibitors and attracts more than 144,000 trade
visitors each year. The Spring 2010 event opened on
12 April with excellent attendance
figures.
The key to this success is AsiaWorld-Expo’s
superb
accessibility and state-of-the-art
facilities, which make it unique both in Hong Kong
and around the region. Looking ahead, AsiaWorld-Expo is also set to become the default
hub of the Pearl River Delta region, which itself
is forecast to become one of the world’s most important economic zones in the
coming decades. |
