Hong Kong, 3rd May: Hong Kong’s Kowloon Bay International Trade & Exhibition Centre (KITEC) has received government approval to be redeveloped. This is part of the Hong Kong government’s plans to establish Kowloon East as another central business district (CBD) and to it is a small part of the government’s larger plan to revitalise the East Kowloon Area.

After the redevelopment, KITEC will have new facilities featuring three office towers and an exhibition hall offering 11,285 m2 of floor space. The work is scheduled to be completed in 2027. The venue will be too small to host the majority of Hong Kong’s B2B exhibitions, however it may be useful for some consumer shows and for small events during peak trade show seasons.
