Border closures at more overseas destinations have been lifted, allowing travelers to enter without quarantine. Therefore, the Hong Kong Travel Fair is larger than last year and is more international. The number of participating countries and regions this year has increased by about 50% compared to last year. Even though this exhibition has expanded local tourism, more than half of the exhibitors are overseas and overseas based on the exhibition area.

Of course, you should also pay attention to travel safety when traveling abroad.

When visitors visit the Hong Kong Travel Fair, they can collect information in advance to plan their holidays and feel the joy of traveling at the same time. The conference hopes that all participants, whether they are sharing information, planning and booking vacations, preparing travel products, or evaluating project development possibilities, will promote the recovery of the tourism industry.
