First-ever “The Festival of Connoisseurs” to be held in Nov

The inaugural “Festival of Connoisseurs” will be held in Hong Kong.

Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Algernon Yau attended the press conference.

The gala will be held from November 4 to 6 this year at the AsiaWorld-Expo, featuring race cars, yachts, fine jewelry and watches.

Organizers say the event aims to create a high-value travel experience, and further consolidate Hong Kong’s status as the “World’s Meeting Place.”

Yau says the government’s Budget has earmarked 100 million dollars to woo large-scale international exhibitions to be held in Hong Kong, and the “Festival of Connoisseurs” is the first project funded under the scheme.
