The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has initiated a series of community-wide activities to celebrate its 60th anniversary, including a themed tram, a mobile design gallery, and exclusive promotional offers. The celebrations aim to engage the public and underscore the HKTDC's continued role in linking Hong Kong with the global market while partnering with stakeholders to shape the future.
Among the highlights is the "60th Anniversary-themed Tram," a limited-edition tram featuring the HKTDC's anniversary theme "Connect the World, Shape the Future." The tram is now running across Hong Kong Island, bringing the celebratory spirit into the community. Professor Frederick Ma, HKTDC Chairman, and Sophia Chong, HKTDC Executive Director, along with senior management, attended a photo session with the tram, symbolizing the organization's role in bridging Hong Kong and international markets.
The "Design Gallery: 60 Celebratory Deals" campaign is also underway, offering selected items at 40% off. The promotion, which will launch its third round in July, includes over 20 items across categories such as gifts, homeware, and fashion accessories. Featured products include a CARDHODA RFID coin and card holder, a DITTO DITTO Hong Kong Skyline pattern washi tape set, a FAUX X MARIKO JESSE Hong Kong Toile Bone China Mug, PAIR PAIR FULL "Weaving the Future" socks, and a TACS stainless steel watch. These offers allow the public to purchase creative products at attractive prices while experiencing Hong Kong's design excellence.
Other anniversary activities will be rolled out progressively, including "60 Book Fair Super Passes" during the Hong Kong Book Fair and "Food Expo VIP Tickets Giveaway." These initiatives aim to celebrate the HKTDC's milestone with the wider community. Details will be announced on HKTDC's social media platforms.
