Hong Kong plans to host new fairs on robotics, yachts, and small jets to enhance its status as an international exhibition hub and attract affluent visitors. Commerce Secretary Algernon Yau announced a HK$100 million budget to attract large international exhibitions. The government is collaborating with global organizers to introduce events that have never been held in the city. The exhibitions industry contributes 2.1% to Hong Kong's GDP, with each event generating significant daily spending from attendees. Expansion of key exhibition venues is also planned to accommodate larger events.
