This year, the Hong Kong Economic, Trade and Cultural Office (HKETCO) continued to give support to the Hong Kong Pavilion at the Taipei International Book Exhibition (TIBE) 2015, set up by the Hong Kong Publishing Federation and the Hong Kong Printers Association. In order to encourage readers to buy Hong Kong publications, HKETCO gave out notebooks and arranged an air ticket lucky draw, as well as distributed publications introducing Hong Kong’s cultural characteristics at the venue.
