Your Direct Channel to the Lucrative Asia Pacific Market

Part of Your Global Seafood Solution

By exhibiting at the Asian Seafood Exposition your company will capture a greater piece of a lucrative market.

Taking place alongside the successful Restaurant & Bar show, this event puts global seafood products and suppliers face to face with top high volume catering, restaurants, supermarkets, importers, exporters, distributors and wholesalers from the Asia Pacific region and Hong Kong.

Why the Hong Kong / Asia Pacific market?

With seafood increasing in demand in the Hong Kong and Asia Pacific regions, buyers need a place to turn to source live, fresh and frozen seafood from international and local resources more than ever.

• Hong Kong is an attractive tourist destination and has more than 11,000 restaurants serving a wide range of Eastern and Western Cuisines.
• Food, beverages and other agricultural products can be imported to Hong Kong duty-free.
• Healthy eating is a growing trend in Hong Kong and Asia Pacific, with diners preferring to eat fresh foods and have become increasingly aware of food safety.
• Of the 107 million tons of seafood available for human consumption in 2005, Asia accounted for two-thirds of total consumption.*

The Asian Seafood Exposition and the City of Hong Kong have what business travelers and tradeshow attendees are looking for.

1. Hong Kong is consistently rated as the world’s freest economy on the basis of its business infrastructure, financial, legal and professional services, and its low and simple tax system. There is free flow of capital and goods, comprehensive intellectual property protection rights, and no import tax on exhibits.* 
2. Close to 6,000 companies have set up their regional headquarters and offices in Hong Kong, making it the most popular city in Asia for international business.*
3. Exhibition industry statistics indicate networking, destination and exhibition and education agendas are critical to a tradeshow attendee’s decision to attend.**

Why Seafood?

Hong Kong is home to more than 7 million people and enjoys a growing and competitive seafood market with a total value of $2.8 billion of imported fish and seafood products in 2008.**

This region’s seafood market comes primarily from international resources due to its extremely high levels of seafood consumption and the declining domestic seafood industry.
