The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has rolled out a series of community-wide activities to celebrate its 60th anniversary, including a themed tram, a mobile design gallery, and special promotions on creative products. The initiatives aim to engage the public and highlight the HKTDC's role in connecting Hong Kong with global markets.
One of the key features is the "60th Anniversary-themed Tram," a limited-edition tram emblazoned with the anniversary theme "Connect the World, Shape the Future." The tram is now running across Hong Kong Island, bringing the celebratory spirit into the community and symbolizing the HKTDC's continued partnership with stakeholders to shape the future. Professor Frederick Ma, HKTDC Chairman, and Sophia Chong, HKTDC Executive Director, along with senior management, attended a photo session with the tram today.
In addition, the "Design Gallery: 60 Celebratory Deals" campaign is underway, offering selected items at 40% off. The third round of promotion is set for July, featuring more than 20 items across categories such as gifts, homeware, and fashion accessories. Featured products include a CARDHODA RFID coin and card holder, a DITTO DITTO Hong Kong Skyline pattern washi tape set, a FAUX X MARIKO JESSE Hong Kong Toile Bone China Mug, PAIR PAIR FULL "Weaving the Future" socks, and a TACS stainless steel watch. These offers allow the public to purchase creative products at attractive prices while experiencing Hong Kong's design excellence.
Other anniversary activities will be rolled out progressively, including "60 Book Fair Super Passes" during the Hong Kong Book Fair and "Food Expo VIP Tickets Giveaway." These initiatives aim to celebrate the HKTDC's milestone with the wider community. Details will be announced on the HKTDC's social media platforms.
The HKTDC also hosted the "Next 60 Forum" featuring the Chairman and former Chairmen, as well as a "60th Anniversary Cocktail Reception" attended by over 1,000 guests. These events underscore the HKTDC's six decades of promoting Hong Kong's trade. Founded in 1966, the HKTDC is a statutory body with over 50 offices globally, including 13 in the Chinese Mainland, and organizes international exhibitions, conferences, and business missions to create opportunities for companies, particularly SMEs.
