Launching of second "Happy Hong Kong" Gourmet Marketplace (with photos/video)
***************************************************************************************
     The second "Happy Hong Kong" Gourmet Marketplace is being held at the area adjacent to the Amphitheatre of Sha Tin Park today and tomorrow (May 6 and 7), featuring Chinese cuisines and local flavours. The Marketplace features about 70 booths offering Chinese cuisines and local flavours, as well as spectacular performances.

     The Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan, together with the Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Miss Alice Mak; the Under Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Mr Clarence Leung; and the Director of Home Affairs, Mrs Alice Cheung, officiated at the opening ceremony.

     Mr Chan said at the opening ceremony that the Gourmet Marketplace allowed people of different ages and backgrounds to gather happily for enjoying food. He thanked the Home Affairs Department, exhibitors and the community for their support in making the event a success. Mr Chan noted that Hong Kong's economic performance in the first quarter of this year had improved from that in the last quarter and the same period last year. Following the full resumption of normal travel between Hong Kong and the Mainland as well as overseas regions, coupled with the launch of consumption vouchers by the Government in mid-April, members of the public became more willing to spend and more travellers came visit Hong Kong, which had injected much impetus into the market and stimulated the retail and catering industries' performance in particular.

     The third "Happy Hong Kong" Gourmet Marketplace will be held on June 3 and 4 at VESSEL along the Kwun Tong Promenade and admission is free for members of the public. For details of the event, please visit the website of the Home Affairs Department at www.had.gov.hk.
