The Hong Kong Exhibition & Convention Industry Association (HKECIA) welcomes the decision of the HKSAR Government to reduce hotel quarantine for inbound travellers from seven to three days, followed by four days under medical surveillance at home.  Reducing the number of days for hotel quarantine will help ease the burden on Hong Kong residents returning to the city and incoming international travellers.
However, inbound visitors are not allowed to attend any exhibitions held in event premises, e.g. trade fairs, exhibitions, conferences, etc, during the four days of medical surveillance.  The new arrangement and the reduction of number of days for hotel quarantine thus will make no difference for the exhibition industry.
Mr Stuart Bailey, Hong Kong Exhibition & Convention Industry Association (HKECIA) Chairman, commented that while the HKECIA appreciates Government’s direction of relaxing restrictions, our members and the exhibition and convention industry urge the Government to implement quarantine-free travel as soon as possible. During this interim period, they hope the Government to relax restrictions for business travellers and allow overseas exhibition organisers, exhibitors and buyers with the Amber Code to run and attend exhibitions at event premises with their face masks on and appropriate social distancing and preventive measures.
With decades of effort by the Hong Kong Exhibition & Convention Industry Association (HKECIA) members, Hong Kong has attained its hard-earned reputation as the Trade Fair Capital of Asia.  Some 140 exhibitions were held in a ‘normal’ year at the AsiaWorld-Expo and the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, drawing millions of trade buyers and exhibitors from all over the world.  These high-spending business travellers generated tremendous tourism receipts for hotels, restaurants and shops, and hence created tens of thousands of jobs.  The exhibition industry has been an important pillar to Hong Kong’s economy and will be a core engine for the economy rebound.

Mark Warner has added a resort in Lesbos, Greece to its portfolio for summer 2023.
The Aeolian Village Beach Resort will undergo a €2 million refurbishment this winter, with bars and restaurants upgraded and childcare facilities added to the hotel infrastructure already in place.
Watersports and cycling centres will join the existing facilities, along with Mark Warner’s first padel tennis courts – where players use paddles instead of rackets.
Holidays to the resort, near Skala Eressos village, will go on sale “in a few weeks’ time”, the specialist ski and sun operator said.
Managing director David Hopkins said: “After a successful summer this year, we’re delighted to be growing the programme next year with the addition of the Aeolian Village Beach Resort, which we know will quickly establish itself as a Mark Warner customer favourite.ADVERTISEMENT“We’re particularly excited by the new partnership we have formed with the resort owners who run a portfolio of quality properties in Cyprus, with Aeolian Village being no exception, as can be seen in the excellent customer satisfaction ratings they are achieving this summer.
“We are looking forward to a long and fruitful partnership with owners who really understand the business.”

WTTC welcomes the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and its numerous business-smart clean energy tax incentives expansions and extensions.
“The Travel & Tourism sector is a catalyst for meaningful climate action and emissions reduction, as evidenced by our groundbreaking Net Zero Roadmap supporting our sector’s drive toward net zero. This bill will help accelerate our Members’ climate commitments with provisions like the sustainable aviation fuel credit, energy efficient buildings deduction, and zero-emission port equipment and technology investments.
“While these are important building blocks for meaningful change, we call on the U.S. to continue putting climate change front and centre of everything they do to help protect life on our planet. We also urge world leaders to give more support to the global Travel & Tourism sector as it continues its journey towards net zero.
