Receiving Buyers at HKTDC Fairs

<div class="acchk-responsive-table">It has come to our attention that there were incidents in which some exhibitors refused to receive certain visiting buyers at their booths, which created some disputes. The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) would like to remind all exhibitors that, according to the laws on discrimination in Hong Kong, exhibitors must not discriminate against any visitors solely based on their sex, disabilities, or other criteria prescribed by law by refusing their visit to their booths.</div><div> </div><div class="acchk-responsive-table">HKTDC, as the fair organiser, fully understands that a business has the right and discretion to formulate its own business promotion strategy for certain market segments. However, in the context of an international exhibition, and of maintaining the professional image of the exhibition and of Hong Kong as a trade fair capital, exhibitors are requested to cooperate on the following:<br /><br /></div><ol><li>All exhibitors should welcome visitors that are qualified and admitted by the organiser.</li><li>Exhibitors should treat all visitors courteously.</li><li>Exhibitors should not discriminate against any visitors due to their race or place of origin.</li><li>Exhibitors should not display any discriminatory messages at their booths.</li></ol><div class="acchk-responsive-table">HKTDC sincerely hopes that all exhibitors will co-operate. If any complaint against an exhibitor regarding the above with sufficient grounds is received, the Council will carefully review the application for participation in future HKTDC events by that exhibitor and may have to take necessary actions.</div><div> </div><div class="acchk-responsive-table">Hong Kong Trade Development Council</div>
