Exhibition industry converges to explore how to leverage Hong Kong’s super-connector role between the world & the Greater Bay Area, world-class venues and diverse cultural experiences to achieve more for trade shows and visitors


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 November 2025 – The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) has cemented Hong Kong’s position as an exhibition and conference hub in Asia as the host city of the landmark 92nd UFI Global Congress. Staged at AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE) on 19–22 November 2025 under the theme “Shaping the Future”, the Congress in UFI’s centenary brought together hundreds of global industry leaders to reflect, connect and shape the future of the global exhibition industry, capturing Hong Kong’s strengths as the trade fair capital of Asia and the World’s Meeting Place delivering world-class infrastructure, seamless Greater Bay Area (GBA) integration and innovative event solutions.

Panel Discussion Sessions at UFI Global Congress

HKTB Chairman Peter Lam remarked, “We are thrilled that the UFI Global Congress has returned to Hong Kong after 25 years to celebrate UFI’s centenary. This year’s Congress holds special significance; it is both an honour and a testament to our city’s enduring position as the “World’s Meeting Place”. Combined with business-friendly policies, world-class infrastructure, professional services and unique GBA opportunity, Hong Kong continues to attract international business events across the region. Moreover, Hong Kong goes beyond being just a business hub – the city boasts a year-round calendar of world-class mega events, enlivening it with delightful activities, exclusive festive attractions and irresistible experiences. I invite global industry leaders to explore beyond the conference halls and immerse themselves in Hong Kong.”

Hong Kong Tourism Board Chairman Peter Lam

Hong Kong – A Destination of Choice to Unleash Growth Potential for the Exhibition Sector

As a key economic pillar, the global exhibition industry produced US$95 billion in direct GDP and contributed US$162 billion in direct spending in 2024, according to UFI, the global association of the exhibition industry. In 2024, Hong Kong’s flagship venues – Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) and AWE – hosted more than 350 exhibitions with 9.17 million participants. This year, the city sees a strong momentum in trade exhibitions, with 10 new exhibitions staged in Hong Kong.

Chris Skeith, Managing Director & CEO of UFI

Chris Skeith, Managing Director & CEO of UFI noted, “Coming to Hong Kong this year particularly is important to UFI as it’s our centenary. We’ve been celebrating the past, honouring the present, but the main thing we’re here today for is to help shape our future. Experience and trust are two major trends to watch for the industry, and Hong Kong is the perfect destination for us today. Not only have you got the people, the growth opportunity, the amazing landscapes and seascape, and you have also got the venues and the capability to help deliver the events that we can bring. So as UFI moves into our next centenary, I can see lots of our members bringing events to Hong Kong again to help shape the future of their businesses, their communities, their events, and we will do that together.”

Future-focused Congress Programme Highlights Future-proof Developments & Insights

In this year’s UFI Global Congress in Hong Kong, high-calibre speakers led future-focused dialogue. Silicon Valley strategist Dex Hunter-Torricke, hailing from SpaceX, Facebook and Google, dissected how AI and technological changes were reshaping industries, and how the exhibition sector could play a defining role in reconnecting people and ideas.

Global industry leaders also explored the forces shaping the future of events through the main stage programme. A key highlight was AWE’s Phase II development featuring Hong Kong’s largest purpose-built in-door performance venue with 20,000 seats, to be completed by 2028. This expansion is an integral part of SKYTOPIA, the new tourism landmark in Lantau being developed by the Airport Authority. The project integrating commercial activities, culture and leisure is set to propel the city to become a dream destination for visitors.

Lisa Hannant, Chief Executive Officer of Clarion Events

Lisa Hannant, Chief Executive Officer of Clarion Events attested to Hong Kong’s appeal. “We have an iconic brand called Global Sources, and we have been established here in Hong Kong for over 50 years. Hong Kong is at the forefront of the evolving industry across the whole of the trade show sector. It’s a meeting place for international markets and a real connector where buyers meet sellers. With a diverse economic background and vibrant culture, it is an extraordinary place to be able to establish new events such as The Hong Kong International Show Jumping Show.” she said.

Richard Ireland, Chief Executive Officer of Clarion Events Asia

Richard Ireland, Chief Executive Officer of Clarion Events Asia echoed this viewpoint “It didn’t take us long to realise that Hong Kong is a great destination for such a show. Its location near the Greater Bay Area, its affluent population and ability to host large successful events really made it a very simple decision.”

Hong Kong – the Gateway to Unlock Opportunities in GBA and Beyond

Featured as a speaker in the Session themed “Gateway to Growth: Unleashing Opportunities in the Greater Bay Area”, HKTB’s General Manager, Mega Events, MICE and Cruise Marilyn Tham highlighted Hong Kong as an unmatched gateway for uncovering opportunities in the GBA and Asia, thanks to Hong Kong’s one-hour easy access to the GBA market of 87 million people, and the four-hour flight radius to all Asian markets.

Margaret Ma Connolly, President and CEO of Informa Markets Asia

Margaret Ma Connolly, President and CEO of Informa Markets Asia, elaborated, “Hong Kong is really the bridge from Asia to the world. Hong Kong has unique access to the Greater Bay Area, and Chinese Mainland is the second largest exhibition market in the world. At Informa Markets, we have launched a few Asia’s debuts in Hong Kong that are aligned with the government Policy Address’s key strategic pillars, whether it’s in aviation, logistic hub or MICE development. So we have launched the Super Terminal Expo, The Battery Show Asia, the Beauty Ingredients & Formulation Asia (BIFA) and Connect Marketplace Hong Kong and we are also launching LEAP East next. Hong Kong has a lot going for it, with the MICE industry being the hub in APAC. I do believe this is Asia’s century and now the momentum is strong.”

Rich Destination Experiences to Enhance Visitor Enjoyment

UFI Global Congress delegates personally experienced how Hong Kong masterfully blends business and leisure. The Congress Dinner at M+, hosted by the HKTB, presented an elaborate feast of culinary excellence, neon art, cross-genre music, and a dance performance paying tribute to Bruce Lee on the 85th anniversary of his birth.

Cigna Healthcare International Health Study Shows Physical Health Remains a Top Priority Despite Rising Stress in Hong Kong

By
Advertorial Desk
-
  • More than half of Hongkongers (54%) rank physical health as their top well-being priority, compared to around one in three globally (35%)
  • Weight management emerges as a key health focus, with 43% of Hongkongers prioritizing weight maintenance, well above the global average of 36%. Only 36% of the Hong Kong respondents aim to lose weight, the lowest in APAC
  • Over seven in ten Hongkongers (77%) report experiencing stress, with 41% stressed about future uncertainty, 35% worried about personal finances, and 25% stressed about the cost of living
  • Nearly half of the Hong Kong respondents (48%) express optimism about the role of AI in improving healthcare delivery and efficiency, above the global average of 45%

HONG KONG, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The latest study from Cigna Healthcare International Health reveals that Hong Kong respondents are among the most proactive in the world when it comes to valuing and managing their physical health, while their stress levels continue to climb. This highlights the growing need for more holistic approaches to well-being that address both physical and mental health.

The Cigna Healthcare International Health Global Study 2025 surveyed more than 11,000 respondents worldwide, including 1,000 individuals in Hong Kong in May 2025, across eight dimensions of well-being: overall, family, mental, social, purpose, physical, work, and financial. Now in its 11th edition, the study saw Cigna Healthcare explore new areas, polling participants on their views regarding the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare and weight management, reflecting the latest global trends in the sector.

The following key findings highlight how Hong Kong people are prioritizing their health and vitality in 2025. A factsheet with the Hong Kong results is available here.

Physical health is the most valued aspect of well-being in Hong Kong

More than half (54%) of Hong Kong respondents rank physical health as their number one priority, far above the 35% global average. Financial and mental health follow as the second and third most valued areas. Notably, 36% of Hong Kong respondents report maintaining a healthy weight and balanced diet, exceeding the global average of 33% and underscoring a strong culture of preventive health awareness.

Distinct approach to weight management revealed

As Cigna Healthcare International Health delved into weight management data this year, it has been revealed that Hong Kong respondents show a stronger preference for maintaining their current weight over pursuing weight loss. 43% of Hong Kong respondents list “maintain weight” as their top goal, ahead of the global average of 36%.  Conversely, only 36% prioritize “lose weight” as a primary goal, the lowest proportion in the APAC region and far below the 46% global average.

In terms of methods, 63% of Hong Kong respondents use regular exercise to manage their weight, followed by 39% in diet plan/meal replacement, and 6% in consultation with dietitian/nutritionist. Only 3% have used medication, less than the global average of 7%. This shows that Hong Kong people prefer natural or preventive health strategies over medical options when it comes to weight management.

Stress levels are on the rise and becoming increasingly widespread

Despite strong health intentions, stress is on the rise. 77% of Hong Kong people report feeling stressed—up from 69% in last year’s study. Uncertainty about the future (41%), personal finances (35%), and living costs (25%) rank as the top stressors, reinforcing the urgent need for accessible mental-health support programs.

In relation, Hong Kong employees are less satisfied with their jobs and employee benefits compared to global averages. 43% of Hong Kong employees feel satisfied with their jobs, compared to 52% worldwide. Only 35% of local respondents are happy with their employee benefits package, below the global average of 39%, highlighting a clear area for improvement to boost workforce loyalty and performance through enhancing employee benefits and workplace support.

Guarded Optimism on AI in Healthcare, higher than global average

AI in healthcare is taking shape, as Hong Kong people increasingly see technology as a valuable partner in improving healthcare. Nearly half (48%) of Hong Kong respondents view AI integration positively, above the 45% global norm. Top expected benefits include shorter wait times (44%), lower administrative costs (40%), and better support for doctors (31%), indicating a readiness for tech-driven health solutions. These attitudes align with the city’s discussions of digitalization and application of AI in healthcare, and signal a clear opening for insurers and healthcare providers to pioneer advanced digital health services in the region.

Jonathan Spiers, CEO of Cigna Healthcare Hong Kong said, “The survey findings align with what we observe in the market. In Hong Kong, physical health remains a top priority and rising stress levels highlight the importance of mental well-being. We also see growing confidence in the role of AI to enhance healthcare delivery. These insights reaffirm our commitment to initiatives such as our HYROX sponsorship and corporate wellness programs, and innovation that promotes vitality and a preventative approach to health and wellbeing.”

The full Cigna Healthcare International Health Study – Hong Kong report is available here.

Lao-Thai Trade Climbs as Postal Services Move to Modernize Cross-Border Delivery

Lao-Thai Trade.

Trade between Thailand and Laos is gaining new momentum, with bilateral flows rising 8.8 percent to THB 24 billion (USD 738.5 million), according to Thailand Post President Danun Supatpan.

He says the steady climb is being fueled by Laos’ fast-growing e-commerce scene and by the smoother movement of goods made possible by the China–Laos high-speed railway.

For Danun, the shift is more than a statistical bump—it’s a sign that the logistics landscape between the two neighbors is changing, and that postal services on both sides need to evolve with it. He believes Thailand Post and Lao Post are well-positioned to help small businesses take advantage of the moment, especially as more consumers in Laos turn to online shopping and rely on cash-on-delivery options.

Ministry of Commerce data from September 2025 show that online transactions in Laos have increased sharply in the past year, pushing postal operators to strengthen delivery networks and simplify payments. Danun says these developments are essential foundations for deeper economic cooperation, not only between Thailand and Laos but across the wider CLMV subregion.

The two postal operators have now agreed on a set of joint priorities designed to keep pace with the region’s more digital, more mobile trade environment. Their plan includes tightening security checks on both air and land routes, expanding EMS coverage along border crossings, and using electronic data systems to minimize customs delays.

E-commerce services will also get a boost. Both sides intend to improve cross-border parcel options—particularly small-packet and COD services—to make it easier for individual sellers and SMEs to send goods through Thailand, Laos and onward to China.

Financial services form another part of the partnership’s focus. Thailand Post is upgrading its e-payment systems and will continue cooperating with Western Union to ensure customers have reliable channels for transfers and online payments.

Beyond the technical side, the two postal agencies are also looking to strengthen soft ties. They plan to collaborate on stamp issues and other cultural initiatives that highlight the long relationship between the two countries.

Staff training and knowledge-sharing are included as well, with both organizations aiming to raise service standards through joint workshops and exchange programs.

Thailand Post is preparing its own upgrades, including real-time tracking for international parcels and a revised fee structure designed to make shipping more affordable for small merchants. The company is also expanding its presence at key border points like Nong Khai and Chiang Khong, positioning itself to support goods moving along the Thailand–Laos–China corridor and further toward Europe.

Danun says the ultimate goal is to create a cross-border logistics system that works smoothly across rail, road and air, one that can support the region’s digital economy and give SMEs a clearer path to regional markets.

History has shown us that with innovation comes opportunity, and the companies that embrace diversity and inclusion will lead the way forward. Diversity is not just a value—it’s an economic and strategic imperative. At DFI Retail Group, women represent 65% of our workforce and 60-70% of our customers. For any organization to succeed, its leadership must mirror the people it serves. The data is clear: companies that embrace gender diversity consistently outperform their peers.“
