Fair details

The World of Pet Supplies fair is held every year between the 20 and 23 April. The event in 2011 was the 26th fair, with more visitors and exhibitors expected than in the previous year, given the

pets.[5]

Although the fair officially starts on the 20th of April, the afternoon of the day prior to the opening is reserved for the registration of the

buyers
. Everyone who wants to attend this fair must be registered and in most cases a pre-registration is required. The latter can be done via the official website of the fair. The three main days of the fair are the 20th, 21st and 22nd. The fair is then open from 9am to 6:30pm, and the buyers may register in the same days with 30 minutes before the fair starts or ends. The last day of the World of Pet Supplies fair is shorter and the event takes place only from 9am to 5pm.

The World of Pet Supplies is sponsored by different political bodies such as the Federation of Hong Kong Industries,

Chinese mainland. By organizing this type of trade event, the HKTDC is aiming to promote Hong Kong as a platform for doing business with China and throughout Asia.[7]

According to the Society for the Voluntary Control of Fair and Exhibition Statistics (FKM) more than 2,000 exhibitors have been present at this fair and the event managed to attract over 25,000 visitors and potential buyers. According to FKM, the majority of visitors came from Asia (approximately 52%) and Europe (18%) followed by America (13%). As expected, most of the exhibitors present at the fair up until now have been from Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland (1,356 out of a total of 2,149).

In order to be eligible for admission, visitors must be older than 18. Exhibitors on the other hand must comply with more complex criteria. Firstly, exhibitors that wish to participate at this fair must be legally registered companies/businesses carrying on business either in Hong Kong or in their

bona fide

Exhibitors who need wide spaces to display their products may get a raw space of at least 27 m2, for $455/m2.
