The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has rolled out a series of community-wide activities to celebrate its 60th anniversary, including a themed tram, a mobile exhibition, and promotional deals on design products. The initiatives aim to engage the public and highlight the HKTDC's role in linking Hong Kong with global markets.
Among the highlights is a limited-edition tram featuring the anniversary theme 'Connect the World, Shape the Future,' now running across Hong Kong Island. The tram symbolizes the HKTDC's continued efforts to connect Hong Kong with the world while partnering with stakeholders to shape the future. Professor Frederick Ma, HKTDC Chairman, and Sophia Chong, HKTDC Executive Director, along with senior management, attended a photo session with the themed tram.
The 'Design Gallery: 60 Celebratory Deals' campaign offers discounts of up to 40% on selected items, including creative products from Hong Kong designers. The third round of promotions is set for July, featuring over 20 items such as the CARDHODA RFID coin and card holder, DITTO DITTO Hong Kong Skyline washi tape set, FAUX X MARIKO JESSE Hong Kong Toile Bone China Mug, PAIR PAIR FULL 'Weaving the Future' socks, and a TACS stainless steel watch. These deals allow the public to purchase innovative products at attractive prices while experiencing Hong Kong's design excellence.
Other anniversary activities include the '60 Book Fair Super Passes' during the Hong Kong Book Fair and 'Food Expo VIP Tickets Giveaway,' with details to be announced on HKTDC's social media platforms. The HKTDC also hosted a 'Next 60 Forum' featuring the Chairman and former Chairmen, and a '60th Anniversary cocktail reception' attended by over 1,000 guests.
