Why consider Hong Kong?

Mrs Carrie Lam, Chief Secretary for Administration, Hong Kong Government (Hong Kong's Chief Minister) speaks on how Hong Kong can act as a gateway to China for Australian businesses and organisations who are Asia-capable.

Hong Kong has been popular with Australian businesses for decades, and for very good reason. This magnificent world city, named for the ‘fragrant harbour’ it sits on, is ideally positioned for international trade. Strategically located at the crossroads of China and North Asia, most cities in Asia are less than a five-hour flight away. Hong Kong also enjoys easy access to the Pearl River Delta in southern China, a global manufacturing centre and one of the fastest-growing regions in the world.

It is a magnet for overseas companies keen to take advantage of growing markets within the wider Asian and East Asian region, as well as reach Hong Kong’s own affluent population. The Hong Kong Starter Pack is a resource for Australian businesses and organisations looking to do business in Hong Kong. The Starter Pack provides comprehensive information on getting started in Hong Kong, sales and marketing, business culture and etiquette, business practicalities (including laws, duties, taxation, employment) and practical information on visas, accommodation, travel and currency.
