The new edition to the HK Convention & Exhibition center was opened for trade business for the first time this week from the 13-16th for the electronics fair (spring edition). The extension construction lasted a little over three years. If you ever have sourced products for merchandising, but have failed to visit Hong Kong for trade development, you have lost valuable opportunities to achieve a greater price point for your products.
