Question:
Will the Administration undertake any work, surveys or studies in 2010-11 to monitor the long-term demand for convention and exhibition facilities in Hong Kong in relation to its effort to “continue to monitor the long-term demand for convention and exhibition facilities in Hong Kong and plan for the provision of additional quality facilities when needed”? What are the resources required? Any plans to be launched for the provision of additional quality facilities? If yes, what are the projects included? What is the estimated expenditure?
Asked by: Hon. HO Chun-yan, Albert
Reply:
When assessing the long-term demand for the convention and exhibition facilities in Hong Kong, we will take into account the result of a Government-commissioned consultancy study on the supply of and demand for exhibition facilities in Hong Kong as well as the findings of surveys on Hong Kong’s convention and exhibition industry conducted or being conducted by other organizations. We are also examining the feasibility of expanding the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and the AsiaWorld-Expo. However, we have not made any decision on the construction of new facilities. We will conduct a public consultation at an appropriate time when there is a concrete proposal.
The aforementioned work is part of the existing work of Bureau and other related bureaux/departments. It will be absorbed by the existing resources and no additional provision is required.
