The 2022 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Fair for Trade in Services will take place at the Zhuhai International Convention & Exhibition Center in Shizimen from Dec 22 to 24, officials announced during a Dec 16 press conference in Guangzhou.

This will be the first service trade conference held in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The event will feature exhibitions, forums, and industrial matchmaking fairs to demonstrate the well-rounded development of the service trade industry.

Huang Zhihao, Zhuhai mayor, said that Zhuhai is the only city in the Chinese mainland that is directly connected by road to Hong Kong and Macao, which has created an outstanding environment for the high-quality development of the service trade industry.

Huang noted that the fair is currently under preparation and will create a new exchange and cooperation platform as well as accelerate the exploration of new development paths in the digitalization of service trade.
