To optimize returns of limited resources, ITE2024 will only have BUYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (BAP), and no HOSTED BUYER PROGRAM.
There are always buyers who visit ITE without financial assistance, who thus not obliged to attend activities arranged by the organizer. We would like to invite them to spare some of their time in ITE2024 to attend “Buyers Meeting Sellers” activities arranged by the organizer, which we believe consistent with these buyers’ visit purpose, and offer them some financial assistance to subsidize partially their traveling cost.
In fact, TKS has been throughout Covid-19 keeping the office open, attempting and succeeding to hold physically ITE each year since 2021. On one hand, many tourism enterprises are orderly taking up staff but there often are shortages, thus affecting how many they can send to attend an exhibition.
Situation makes it necessary for us doing so! Hopefully, the BAP can through wider sharing include more buyers.
To keep it simple, there will be two groups of buyers under BAP which namely are (A) the Greater Bay Area (Bay) group, and (B) the non-Bay group which include buyers from China outside the Bay and those from overseas. Please refer to below for details.
If you are outbound travel agencies and involved in decision-making for selecting destinations outside of home region and decide outbound tour / routes with proven track records, you may be eligible to apply ITE Hong Kong Buyer Assistance Program.
