Thailand and Hong Kong continue to strengthen their long-standing trade ties, offering exciting business opportunities through world-class exhibitions. The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) invites Thai businesses, suppliers, and retailers to participate in four upcoming lifestyle fairs happening between September and November 2025 in Hong Kong.
These events promise to connect regional traders with global markets through physical exhibitions and digital platforms.
Vian Cheung, Director, Thailand & South Asia, HKTDC, announced on July 16 that four lifestyle fairs will be held from September to November in Hong Kong, offering ideal platforms for traders and suppliers from Thailand to expand their businesses into new markets.
“In 2024 to 2025, we staged some 40 major events, attracting over 32,900 exhibitors and over 597,600 physical buyers and participants from Hong Kong, the mainland and around the world,
“Positioned strategically at the heart of Asia, coupled with its exceptional logistics services and adept supply chain management, Hong Kong serves as a promising platform for global business to extend their reach into markets across Mainland China and the broader Asian region.”
