30 December 2015 – Asia’s largest toy fair, the HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, will open in mid-January, alongside the HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair and the Hong Kong International Stationery Fair. About 2,800 exhibitors, a new fair record, from around the world are expected to take part in the three fairs, which will showcase a wide range of innovative products.
The three events will open on 11 January 2016, and continue through 14 January at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). A press conference will be held on 6 January (Wednesday) to announce details of the fairs and offer a first-hand look at some of the highlighted products from Hong Kong manufacturers, including:
