Trio of textile fairs rescheduled by three weeks to end of March

Discussing the change of dates, Ms Wilmet Shea, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd explained: “After talking to our stakeholders, we believe adjusting the spring show dates to the end of March is the right move. It provides enough time for exhibitors and visitors from local and abroad to plan for the fairs and capitalise on the ample international business opportunities brought by the reopening of China’s border.”
The Chinese government recently eased its pandemic guidelines including reopening the border and scrapping quarantine, testing on arrival, and health code requirements for travellers starting from 8 January. In line with these measures, more international flights are resuming, while the border between Mainland China and Hong Kong is scheduled to reopen gradually by mid-January 2023. These steps send a clear signal that China is ready to open up for international business.
Ms Shea continued: “I would like to express our thanks to all participants for their unwavering understanding and support. We are looking forward to providing the textile industry with a safe, international and effective business platform. With the reopening of the border and relaxing of quarantine restrictions we expect the three spring fairs to attract more international and regional participants as a result.”
