Last updated: 2019-12-14 20:27This year's industrial exhibition opened on Tuesday (10th), attracting many citizens to "sweep goods." Affected by the conflict of anti-repair demonstrations, the number of mainland tourists visiting Hong Kong has greatly decreased, and this year's industry exhibition has also reflected the situation.
Some merchants pointed out that the business of Mainland visitors accounted for 20% of the total business volume in the last trade show. So far, Mainland visitors at the current trade show "have got 2, 3 orders per day, down to 5%." However, some merchants have pointed out that because the target customers are locals, the significant reduction in mainland tourists has little impact on business.
Citizens who were present thought that the flow of people this year was similar to that of previous years, but the passageway was more spacious, and they smiled and said, "Walk comfortably, without aggressiveness."

North and Southbound: 4% of mainland visitors are expected
During this year's industry exhibition, few people heard Mandarin, and no large number of mainland tourists were seen. As in previous years, mainland tour groups went to the industry exhibition for shopping. Mr. Cui, the joint business development manager of “South-Northbound” selling savory and flavored seafood, pointed out that the mainland visitors accounted for 10% of the business volume in the last trade show, and the number of mainland tourists this year has fallen sharply. It is estimated that only about 3% to 4% of business is left. The amount is from mainland tourists. Cui believes that the store is mainly engaged in the business of local people, so the decrease in mainland tourists will not have much impact on the business.
Mr. Liang said that the average daily business volume of this year's industrial exhibition is only 2 or 3, accounting for at most 5% of the business. (Photo by Golden Chess)
"Almost no point to see mainland visitors"
Mr. Liang, the manager of the marketing and sales department of Miao's Success Garment Factory Co., Ltd., said that this year's industrial exhibition "has almost no point to see mainland customers." Last year's mainland visitors accounted for about 20% of the business volume. This year's drop to one day. Up to 5 single orders were from mainland visitors. On average, two or three orders were received per day, which only accounted for a maximum of 5% of business volume. Liang also called "the early morning visit without mainland visitors", so it did not have much impact on business.
Mr. Hong Kong people and horses bought a lot of food at the trade show. He pointed out that today (14th), he went to the trade show to "sweep the goods" and bought different foods, such as snacks, etc., which cost about 2,000 Hong Kong dollars. He said with a smile that this year's trade fair channel is "broad and sloppy, and it's irresistible," and the discount is similar to last year. Another participant, Mr. Chen, pointed out that this year ’s visit to the industry fair is to “live the fun” and spend about HK $ 1,000 to buy New Year ’s food. However, due to the poor market this year, consumer sentiment is greatly reduced. “I want to buy bird's nest, see Everyone decides to buy. "
