HONG KONG’S annual Summer Sourcing Show for Gifts, Houseware & Toys returns for its eighth edition this July. Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the four-day trade show will take place at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center from July 4-7 this year.

The show, which is reputed for its diverse and quality product offerings, is an excellent platform for buyers searching for new and innovative products for their stores, and a final opportunity to place orders for the year-end holiday and festive season, as well as prepare for the new year to come.

Last year’s show attracted 409 exhibiting companies from 14 countries and regions. Exhibitors come from across the globe, many of them eager to make connections with growing consumer markets in the Chinese mainland and other parts of Asia, said HKTDC.
