Your Host City
Known as Asia’s World City and one of the most dynamic business locations in the world, Hong Kong is a charismatic locale, with astonishing diversity and sophistication. As the world’s ninth-largest economy, it is a formidable business presence as well. Since the opening of the mainland to foreign trade and investment in the late 1970s, it has built a reputation as being superb at bringing together locally based and transnational companies into a single dynamic marketplace. This supercharged business environment generates continuous growth opportunities for both sides in setting up international networks, entering new lines of business, identifying new sources of supply and new markets, and for collaborative Pacific Rim initiatives.
Nearly eight years after the change of sovereignty, Hong Kong has been at the forefront of the Asian economic recovery and is embracing the opportunities that come with its proximity to the world’s largest country. It is also a city of mesmerising views, vibrant energy, a bustling deepwater harbour, a shoppers’ paradise and a culinary mecca. Within the conveniently compact commercial district, everything you need is within easy reach, allowing time for leisure excursions even with your busy Summit schedule.
Hong Kong Sevens!
Coincidentally, the 2005 Rugby World Cup Sevens is happening in Hong Kong 17-20 March. See it live, then attend the corporate real estate industry’s premier forum for learning and leadership!
The host city for the 2005 Asia Summit is world-renowned for its culture and cuisine, and is universally acclaimed as a shopper’s paradise. It is a city of contrasts – old and new, historic and state-of-the-art, agrarian and urban, densely populous in many areas, yet with 38 percent of its landmass dedicated to parks and green space. It is a city of levels, too – with a deepwater harbour located in close proximity to Victoria Peak rising from Hong Kong Island. Skyscrapers stand alongside narrow alleyways filled with stalls where vendors sell their wares.
For all these reasons and more, Hong Kong is a great host city for the world’s largest gathering of corporate real estate professionals in March!
