New opportunities in GBA; Shenzhen-Hong Kong join forces to boost consumption

Among the distinguished guests attending the grand opening of the Chic Hong Kong shopping festival were Mr John Lee, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; Mr Qin Weizhong, Mayor of the Shenzhen Municipal Government; Mr Zeng Pai, Standing Committee Member of the CPC Shenzhen Municipal Committee; Mr Gao Shengyuan, Secretary General of Shenzhen Municipal People's Government; Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC; and Ms Margaret Fong, Executive Director of the HKTDC.

In his welcome address, Dr Peter K N Lam highlighted the council's long-standing commitment to helping Hong Kong enterprises expand their presence in the Chinese mainland.

"With the complete lifting of border-crossing restrictions earlier this year, the economic recovery in the Greater Bay Area has gained strong momentum, and the two-way passenger flow between Shenzhen and Hong Kong continues to increase, demonstrating the new progress in their integration. Seizing the favourable momentum, the Chic Hong Kong shopping festival was conceived and chosen to be held in Shenzhen, a city with a robust fashion consumer market, to promote Hong Kong's high-quality brands and product designs to consumers in the Greater Bay Area and mainland cities, and to drive the development of the domestic circulation economy and intra-regional exchanges within the Greater Bay Area."

The HKTDC also plans to assist Hong Kong enterprises in connecting with new media and new retail channels through the GoGBA one-stop platform and the Mainland Development Support Scheme, enabling them to establish their brands through innovative models and expand their domestic sales market.
