Chapter by chapter, Hong Kong comes together to celebrate the written word. With a spectacular line-up of author-led seminars and a vibrant collection of citywide events across an entire month, the Book Fair is a cultural festival attracting enormous public participation.
A survey conducted by an independent market research agency commissioned by HKTDC revealed that the Book Fair's average spending per capita exceeded HK$870 (US$111) last year, representing a 7.5% increase over 2021, and accounting for 71% of respondents’ average annual expenditure on printed books.
