Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited (HML), the professional private management company responsible for the daily operation of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC), welcomes the announcement by the Hong Kong SAR Government for further relaxation of anti-COVID-19 measures. With the removing of Amber code, the 3-day of medical surveillance, and restrictions for inbound visitors, HML is ready to welcome international visitors and events back to the HKCEC.
On December 13, 2022, the Hong Kong SAR Government removed the remaining restrictions and announced that all arrivals from December 14, 2022, who are tested negative will be given a Blue code and can attend events and go to any places and restaurants freely.
Ms. Monica Lee-Müller, Managing Director of HML, said:
“This is certainly a big and important step for the event industry to rebound, that we have been waiting for.”
“With the strong demand for physical events, the prime location of the HKCEC in Hong Kong’s central business district, HML’s experience and expertise in serving world-class events and our continuous investment in infrastructure and facility upgrade, I am confident that the HKCEC will continue to win the votes of confidence of event organizers, exhibitors and buyers, and rise above the challenges of COVID-19.”
