The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has unveiled a series of community-wide activities to commemorate its 60th anniversary, including a specially themed tram, a mobile design gallery, and exclusive promotional deals. The initiatives aim to engage the public and highlight the HKTDC's enduring role in linking Hong Kong with global markets.
Central to the celebrations is the "60th Anniversary-themed Tram," a limited-edition tram adorned with the HKTDC's anniversary theme, "Connect the World, Shape the Future." The tram is now running across Hong Kong Island, bringing the celebratory spirit into the community. According to the HKTDC, the tram symbolizes the organization's continued partnership with stakeholders to shape the future while fostering Hong Kong's global trade connections.
Alongside the tram, the "Design Gallery: 60 Celebratory Deals" campaign is underway, offering selected items at 40% off. The third round of promotions is scheduled for July, featuring over 20 products across categories such as gifts, homeware, and fashion accessories. Featured items include a CARDHODA RFID coin and card holder, a DITTO DITTO Hong Kong Skyline pattern washi tape set, a FAUX X MARIKO JESSE Hong Kong Toile Bone China Mug, PAIR PAIR FULL "Weaving the Future" socks, and a TACS stainless steel watch. These deals aim to allow the public to purchase creative products at attractive prices while experiencing Hong Kong's design excellence.
Other anniversary activities will be rolled out progressively, including "60 Book Fair Super Passes" during the Hong Kong Book Fair and "Food Expo VIP Tickets Giveaway." These initiatives are designed to celebrate the HKTDC's milestone with the wider community. Details will be announced on HKTDC's social media platforms.
Professor Frederick Ma, HKTDC Chairman, and Sophia Chong, HKTDC Executive Director, along with senior management, attended a photo session with the themed tram. The HKTDC also hosted the "Next 60 Forum" featuring the Chairman and former Chairmen, as well as a "60th Anniversary Cocktail Reception" attended by over 1,000 guests.
The HKTDC, established in 1966, is a statutory body promoting 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 companies, particularly SMEs. The celebrations underscore the HKTDC's commitment to connecting Hong Kong with the world and shaping the future of trade.
