The HKTDC Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair 2020 is offering a turnkey pavilion economy package for South African producers again in November 2020, consisting of a counter with shared meeting and storage area with two bar stools and two shelves.
The Government of Hong Kong has announced the launch of the Convention and Exhibition Industry Subsidy Scheme on 21 February. Any company - local or overseas, large or small - will be subsidised 50% of its participation fee, subject to a cap of HK$10,000 (USD$1,282 or R23,600) and this will only apply to the fairs organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council.
The HKTDC Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Fair 2020 is covered under this subsidy scheme. The subsidy will be deducted from the participation fee directly after all discount is calculated.
Final Booth Rental after government subsidy will be: US$2,090 (R38 600) per 4.5 sqm turnkey counter.
Additional 5% early bird loyalty discount will be offered to 2019 wine fair exhibitors.
With regard to the lockdown situation, the early-bird application deadline is 30th June 2020 and application deadline is 31 July 2020.
