Apple Inc has opened its long-awaited first store in Hong Kong, with hundreds of fans of the computer and gadget maker pouring in on the first day.
Some Apple enthusiasts had camped out for nearly two days to secure a place at the head of the line and be among the first to walk through the doors of the new store on Saturday.
The store is located on two floors linked by a glass spiral staircase in Hong Kong’s upscale International Financial Centre Mall, in the city’s central business district.
The Cupertino, California-based company’s products are wildly popular in mainland China.
The Hong Kong store follows the opening of a third Shanghai store on Friday as the company boosts its presence in a key market. It also has two stores in Beijing.
If your business is toys or even housewares and gifts, Hong Kong is THE place to be on October 2010.
The Mega Show (Part 1) takes place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre between 20-23 October 2010 and Part 1 is all about toys, gifts, housewares and premiums. It is often said that Hong Kong is the port into the Chinese Mainland, but this time around you will get to meet leading toy manufacturers from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Pakistan, UK, Belgium and many more.
Last year’s Mega Show attracted more than 5,000 booths with well over 4,000 exhibitors. Here’s what previous visitors had to say:
While the Show only takes place in October later this year, if you pre-register before March 31, 2010 you stand a chance of winning FREE hotel accommodation and air ticket!
