AsiaRooms.com - Hong Kong Book Fair Expected to Attract Thousands

    HONG KONG, June 23, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Lovers of literature can wile away the hours during their stay in Hong Kong hotels by visiting the Hong Kong Book Fair next month.

The week-long event, which runs between July 21st and 27th 2010, is now in its 21st year and regularly attracts tens of thousands of visitors from across the world.

Back in 2009, a staggering 900,000 people had headed down to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre by the end of the event, an eight per cent increase on the total that checked it out the year before.

Yang Yi, a Chinese writer who lives in Japan, was so moved by the success of last year's book fair that he declared himself "really proud of the Hong Kong people" and claimed it could not have taken place anywhere else in China.

Among the events planned for the 2010 expo is a discussion by internationally acclaimed author James Fenton, which is due to take place on the opening day at 15:00 local time.

Anthony Horowitz, another well-known writer, will also take to the stage to speak at the fair on July 22nd at 14:00.

Tickets for the event cost just HK$25 (GBP2.20), although tourists staying in Hong Kong hotels have been offered a special concessionary rate of just HK$10.
