Asked by: Hon. NG Margaret
Reply:
(a) The numbers of local exhibitions held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) and its extension (including the Atrium Link Expansion (ALE)) and utilisation rates1 are as follows:


Year

Number of exhibitions

Average monthly utilisation rate (%)

Utilisation rate during peak seasons (%)

(average utilisation rate for April and October )

2007

105

53.87

102.53 2

2008

111

56.17

107.24 2

2009

109

48.60

84.97

_______________



1 The utilisation rates are calculated on the basis of the total dedicated exhibition spaces of HKCEC. Before completion of ALE, the relevant area was 46,296 square metres. From April 2009 onwards after the opening of the ALE, the relevant area increased to 65,874 square metres.
2 Utilisation rates exceeding 100% suggest that the dedicated exhibition spaces are inadequate to meet demands, and non-exhibition spaces such as meeting rooms and foyers were used for relevant trade fairs.
(b) The numbers of local exhibitions organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and other private exhibition organisers at HKCEC and its extension (including the ALE) are as follows:


Year

Number of exhibitions organised by HKTDC

Number of exhibitions organised by private exhibition organisers
