Spring Hong Kong Gem, Jewelry Shows Postponed Until Summer
The Hong Kong Trade Development Council will now hold its two events July 29-Aug. 2.
The Hong Kong Trade Development Council has pushed its two spring gem and jewelry events back again amid another coronavirus wave, scheduling them for July 29-Aug. 2.
Hong Kong—Amid extended social distancing measures, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council is pushing its spring gem and jewelry shows back several months.
The organizer said in a notice on its website that the HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show and the HKTDC Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show will be rescheduled from April 14-18 to July 29-Aug. 2.
Both events will be open to the public, it added, to help exhibitors “capture local retail opportunities.”
They will coincide with the Simply Shopping Fest at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.
The move comes as the government extends existing social distancing measures amid another wave of COVID-19 cases until April 20, including limiting the amount of people allowed to gather in public at one time.
In addition to the jewelry events, the council had to move seven trade fairs back from April to July.
