RAPAPORT... Foot traffic at the two Hong Kong exhibitions held March 1
to 7 increased from a year ago as more than 80,000 buyers attended the key
fixtures on the jewelry trade calendar. Last year more
than 76,000 buyers attended the shows.
More than
31,000 buyers visited the Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show at AsiaWorld-Expo from March 1 to 5, while more than 49,000 visitors attended the Jewellery Show
at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from March 3 to 7.
Buyers at the
two shows were from 147 countries and regions. The shows also attracted more
than 4,380 exhibitors from 54 countries and regions, according to a statement
March 7 by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), which organized
both the events.
Traders reported activity at the shows was satisfactory.
“Despite
global economic challenges, the two shows continued to attract local and
overseas buyers,” said Benjamin Chau, deputy executive director of the HKTDC.
“This demonstrates the international significance of the two shows, which form
the world’s largest jewelry marketplace, reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a
proven global sourcing hub for the industry.”
