CCIDA promotes Hong Kong's original art toys for fourth year at Thailand Toy Expo (with photos)

******************************************************************************************

To promote Hong Kong's original art toys, the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) under the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau sponsored the set-up of the Hong Kong pavilion at the Thailand Toy Expo (TTE) for the fourth consecutive year. The TTE is being held at Central World Shopping Mall in Bangkok this year with some 300 pieces of original art toys created by 20 Hong Kong designers being showcased at the Hong Kong pavilion from today (April 2) until April 5.

     Attending the opening ceremony of the Hong Kong pavilion were Assistant Commissioner for Cultural and Creative Industries Miss Yvonne Ip, the Director of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, Bangkok, Mr Parson Lam, and representatives from the Innovative Entrepreneur Association and a number of original art toy designers from Hong Kong. Miss Ip encouraged Hong Kong creative talent to grasp the opportunities for exhibiting their work overseas and to deepen their endeavours in exploring the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) markets under the country's Belt and Road Initiative.

     As one of the largest toy fairs in Asia, the TTE attracts some 300 global exhibitors and 300 000 toy lovers and collectors from around the world each year. The past three editions of Hong Kong pavilion have received widespread attention and praise. With CCIDA's support, the industry's participation in the TTE has provided an effective platform for local original art toy designers and their works to step beyond Hong Kong and maintain close connections with industry professionals worldwide.

     CCIDA has been supporting the Hong Kong original art toy industry to tap into ASEAN markets, including sponsoring the Hong Kong pavilion at the TTE since 2023 and large-scale exhibitions featuring different generations of Hong Kong's original art toys in Bangkok, Jakarta, Indonesia and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
