A New Meetings & Exhibitions Office in Hong Kong
A one-stop shop providing professional support to meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibition (MICE) organizers has been set up in Hong Kong. The Meetings and Exhibitions Hong Kong (MEHK), under the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), will take the city's MICE business to the next level.

The MEHK office will consist of three teams to offer dedicated services for the MICE segments respectively.

The Permanent Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development (Commerce, Industry and Tourism), Miss Yvonne Choi, said Hong Kong is well-positioned to be a popular destination for MICE events, with its prime location, world-class infrastructure, sophisticated services sector and proximity to the Mainland. "We are also a safe city with a sound legal system and a level-playing field for business. Importantly, visitors from over 170 countries enjoy visa-free entry to Hong Kong," she added.

The MEHK office will collaborate with different sectors to devise customized solutions and value-added hospitality offers. Special discounts, free tour programmes and hotel room upgrades are some of the incentives offered by various venue providers, hotels, destination management companies and airlines to ensure an unparalleled experience for visitors.

A MEHK mission is coming to North America with a stop in Toronto scheduled for March. For enquiries, please contact Michael Lim (michael.lim@hktb.com), Director (Canada, Central & South Americas) of the HKTB.
