SCST concludes visit to Bordeaux (with photos)
**********************************************
     The Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Miss Rosanna Law, concluded her visit to Bordeaux, France, during which she reinforced Hong Kong's position as Asia's premier events capital, and as a key partner in wine trading and tourism.

     On May 12 (Bordeaux time), Miss Law met with representatives of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce and Industries to learn about the latest developments of the Great Wine Capitals Global Network, an exclusive alliance of 11 renowned international cities and wine regions. The two sides exchanged views on best practices for organising international events and wine tourism in the new era. Miss Law reiterated that Hong Kong remains a unique East-meet-West centre, enabling the city to be the hub and the bridge for winemakers to reach the burgeoning markets of the Chinese Mainland and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

     Miss Law also visited the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design (MADD) in Bordeaux's historic district. Much like Tai Kwun in Hong Kong, MADD is housed in two historic monuments, an 18th-century mansion and a 19th-century former municipal prison, providing visitors with a unique experience. MADD is one of the few French museums to devote its entire programme to decorative arts, crafts, and design.

     Miss Law will depart for Hong Kong on the morning of May 13 (Bordeaux time).
