The 4-day “2022 Industry Fair Shopping Festival” ended yesterday (12th), and many exhibitors offered discounted prices, such as half-price fruit wine and free steak with lucky bags. A large number of citizens seized the last chance to clean up the goods, and the crowd was crowded. At one point, nearly a thousand citizens lined up outside the venue to enter the venue. Some exhibitors said that this year’s business was less than expected, only 20-30% of the previous session. But there are also people who spend 7,000 yuan on shopping, which is more than double the budget. The manufacturer’s association hosting the event said that as of 4:00 p.m. yesterday, the total number of visitors was nearly 60,000, and the total sales were regarding 60 million yuan, which was in line with expectations.
This year’s Industrial Fair Shopping Festival will continue to be held at the Asia-World-Expo on Lantau Island. Yesterday was the last day of the exhibition period. With the supplementary holiday the day following the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people were attracted to attend. The venue was crowded with people, and the large and small passages were crowded. Some exhibitors selling pre-cooked food had sold out their goods at 3:00 p.m. yesterday and closed their stalls early. The person in charge, Mr. Lin, said that sufficient goods were prepared in the first two days, but he found that the sales were not as good as last month’s Food Expo, so less goods were prepared on the last day. He continued to point out that this year’s business was poor, with only 20-30% of the previous year’s. I believe that this year’s economic climate is worse than last year’s, and many people have already spent their consumption coupons, which has affected their spending intentions. Another snack exhibitor seized the last day and launched a special promotion for 11 packs of jellyfish snacks for 100 yuan. The person in charge, Mr. Chen, pointed out that the sales were similar to expectations. “Every day is a good business, but today I am the worst in the jellyfish market, and I sold it early in the morning.”
Slade: The epidemic has not hindered the enthusiasm of the citizens
The venue was crowded with people buying their favorites. The Chens revealed that they spent regarding 7,000 yuan on shopping, including seafood, snacks and electrical appliances. Mr. Chen pointed out that the original budget was 3,000 yuan, and he mainly bought food. When he arrived at the scene, he found that the electrical appliances he wanted to buy were flatter than the outside, so he bought them together. Some people’s consumption was not as good as expected. Ms. Li said that the budget was 2 to 3,000 yuan, and in the end she only spent a few hundred yuan. “The venue is too crowded, so people will force people to leave before you can go to a stall, and you don’t want to buy it. “. She also pointed out that the queuing outside the venue was chaotic, it took constant detours, and the security guards stopped people from time to time.
The President of the Manufacturers’ Association, Mr. Shi Lide, is quite satisfied with this year’s “Industry Fair Shopping Festival”. He pointed out that although the epidemic has been repeated recently, it has not dampened the enthusiasm of the public, reflecting that Hong Kong’s economy is recovering steadily, and the market’s consumer sentiment has been improving. With the blessing of consumption coupons, the flow of people in the venue has been very strong these days, and the shopping atmosphere of the citizens is warm; “This also reflects the love and support of Hong Kong people for the industry fair, and it is the next two exhibition events of the Manufacturers Association “The 9th Hong Kong Food Carnival” ” and “The 56th Industrial Fair” gave a boost.”
