The city will host three major events to be held from March 25 to 27: the second edition of the Wealth for Good in Hong Kong Summit, the Global Investors’ Symposium organised by the Milken Institute and the inaugural One Earth Summit.
“Through these events, our visitors can experience Hong Kong and what we have; Hong Kong is a pluralistic city and metropolis for tranquillity and safe living,” Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said at the events’ launch ceremony and press conference on Thursday.
Apart from showing Hong Kong’s charm and dynamism to financial industry heavyweights, Chan said the events are also expected to bring high-spending business travellers to the city, giving a boost to the local retail and catering sectors.
“Visitors last year said that Hong Kong is different from what overseas media painted and they do feel it is worth revisiting Hong Kong,” Chan said. “Seeing is believing.”
