After a four-year absence, Seatrade Cruise Asia Pacific is back this fall and will bring the cruise industry to Hong Kong, China, from October 24-26, 2023, at the JW Marriott Hotel. The resurrected event, sponsored by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, is based on the overarching theme of “Rebuilding Asia Cruising Together” and will feature a two-track conference program with prominent industry players and a table-top zone showcasing ports, destinations, and service providers from all over the region.
According to Chiara Giorgi, Global Brand and Event Director for Seatrade Cruise, “Seatrade has been involved with cruising in the Asia Pacific region for 40 years, bringing cruise communities together to support the development of this emerging market.” “Cruise operations are beginning up gradually in this area, with some markets recovering significantly to levels that were close to those prior to the epidemic. Seatrade is eager to return to Hong Kong to continue assisting the resurgence of the Asian cruise sector because there are already a number of cruise lines operating there and more are expected soon.
Professionals from all over the world who work in the cruise business are invited to Seatrade Cruise Asia Pacific to learn about the most recent advancements in the industry, hear from renowned industry leaders, and network with like-minded people. Rebuilding Asia cruise Together will be the topic of the conference, which will include panels, seminars, and presentations addressing the most important regional trends, dangers, and possibilities. A panel of the most significant leaders and authorities in cruise will moderate each session. The State of the Asian Cruise Industry session, which delves into significant industry updates, current trends, and predictions for the region’s future, will serve as the conference’s main event.
Exhibitors from ports, destinations, and service providers from all around the region will be showing off their newest facilities and goods in the exclusive Supplier Showcase Zone. A variety of networking receptions held over the course of the three days will provide attendees the chance to meet other attendees.
Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong’s beautiful cityscape serve as a major Asian cruise hub, making it the perfect place to host the much anticipated return of Seatrade Cruise Asia Pacific.
It is an honor for the Hong Kong Tourism Board to organize and fully support the Seatrade Cruise Asia Pacific’s visit to Hong Kong. “The choice of Hong Kong as the venue for Asia’s first and largest post-pandemic trade event for the cruise industry not only highlights Hong Kong’s significant role as Asia’s cruise hub, but also further strengthens Hong Kong’s position in the global cruise industry,” said Mr. Kenneth Wong, General Manager, MICE & Cruise of the Hong Kong Tourism Board. The occasion will bring together the world’s top elites in the cruise business so they may personally experience Hong Kong’s new traveling style. This will demonstrate Hong Kong’s normalcy to the outside world.
