Hong Kong may be filled with wonderful destinations. But for literature enthusiasts, its annual book fair is a reason it deserves a spot on their travel bucket list. What you need to know is that despite The Hong Kong International Book Fair 2023 being relatively smaller than its counterparts in Taiwan or mainland China, its impressive variety of guests and exhibitors neatly makes it a must-see event.
It’s been a while since Hong Kong Book Fair
Before Hong Kong Book Fair became what it is today, it first came from its humble beginnings. After the completion of the first-ever exhibition held by Hong Kong publishers in 1989, the industry felt the need to grow. TDC assisted in making their dreams come true, and in 1990, Hong Kong International Book Fair’s first session was held.
Different Year, Different Theme
Hong Kong International Book Fair’s organizers come up with a unique theme for the event annually. In 2016, the organizers went for the theme: Heroism and Romance of the Chinese Martial World. Last year was a more traditional theme: Stories of Hong Kong, where attendees traveled through time to savor Hong Kong’s traditions. What do they have in store for everyone this year?
Big Numbers Last Year, Even Bigger This Year
Hong Kong’s beloved cultural event managed to invite 700+ exhibitors, which amassed 850,000 visitors last year. This makes the event an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to increase its audience. The event only continues to improve in reputation and grow in size. Be one to benefit from its numbers now!
