To celebrate its 60th anniversary, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has rolled out a series of community-wide activities, including a themed tram, a mobile exhibition, and special offers at the Design Gallery. The initiatives aim to engage the public and highlight the HKTDC’s continued role in linking Hong Kong with global markets.
Professor Frederick Ma, HKTDC Chairman, and Sophia Chong, HKTDC Executive Director, joined senior management for a photo session with the 60th anniversary-themed tram. The limited-edition tram, featuring the theme “Connect the World, Shape the Future,” is now running across Hong Kong Island, bringing celebratory spirit into the community and symbolizing the HKTDC’s role in fostering global connections.
Among the celebratory initiatives, the “Design Gallery: 60 Celebratory Deals” campaign offers over 20 selected items at 40% off, including a CARDHODA RFID coin and card holder, a DITTO DITTO Hong Kong Skyline pattern washi tape set, and a TACS stainless steel watch. The third round of promotions will launch in July, covering categories such as gifts, homeware, and fashion accessories.
Other activities include the “Next 60 Forum” featuring the Chairman and former Chairmen, a 60th anniversary cocktail reception with over 1,000 guests, and the mobile exhibition “Design Gallery on the Move.” The HKTDC will also offer “60 Book Fair Super Passes” during the Hong Kong Book Fair and “Food Expo VIP Tickets Giveaway” to engage the wider community.
The HKTDC, established in 1966, is a statutory body that promotes and develops Hong Kong’s trade. With over 50 offices globally, including 13 in Mainland China, it organizes international exhibitions, conferences, and business missions to create opportunities for SMEs. More details on the anniversary activities can be found on the HKTDC’s 60th anniversary website and LinkedIn video.
The Design Gallery online shop offers the celebratory deals, and the HKTDC Media Room provides further information. These initiatives underscore the HKTDC’s commitment to connecting Hong Kong with the world and shaping a prosperous future.
