| We're
planning ahead so that you can plan ahead, and the news
is all good! For 2006, once again the HKCEC has frozen
its major rental rates besides offering a great range
of special deals and incentives for new and returning
exhibitions. For example, exhibitions scheduled in any
of six months of 2006 can enjoy a 30% discount
on rental rates (applicable to February, May, June,
July, August and December). The same low-season discounts
apply to conferences and conventions at the HKCEC using
our Forum Package.
We're also continuing to provide top value deals for
exhibitions and events that stay with us for two years
or longer. For instance, exhibitions that commit to
a two-year licence agreement with deposit payments for
both years qualify for a 45% discount on standard
rental rates for both years. Our Rebate Scheme is also
going strong in 2006. Under the scheme, new exhibitions
occupying over 2,000 sq m gross and committing to three
consecutive shows on an annual or biennial basis receive
40% off the standard rental rates in the first
year, and 20% and 10% off in the second
and third years.
Good exhibitions find themselves growing over time,
and at the HKCEC we take that into account and do our
best to help that growth prosper. We make it easy for
expanding exhibitions to make progressive booking of
additional space over time, and we offer many flexible
types of layouts to suit every kind of event. Large
exhibitions (i.e. those using over 29,281 sq m of exhibition
space) can also benefit from a 35% discount when
they book additional hall space, a discount that is
applicable for up to two years.
