The DRT SHOW Hong Kong 2024 concluded successfully from 13 to 15 December at Hall 3G of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, achieving a historic milestone with 48,810 attendees.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all exhibitors and official tourism organizations for their enthusiastic support of DRT SHOW Hong Kong. From the marine-rich Philippines to Palau with its world-class Blue Holes; from the Maldives, the pearl of the Indian Ocean, to the biodiverse Fuvahmulah; from Asia’s most stunning diving destination, Okinawa, to the four-season paradise of Jeju Island; and the breathtaking dive spots of Taiwan—each participating exhibitor brought Hong Kong diving enthusiasts an extraordinary range of world-class diving destinations to explore. Your passionate involvement not only elevated the scale of this year’s Hong Kong show but also broadened the horizons of diving enthusiasts across Hong Kong and neighboring regions. We eagerly look forward to continuing our collaboration in future exhibitions to further promote the flourishing growth of diving culture in Asia.

 

 

This year's DRT SHOW Hong Kong was a remarkable success, attracting numerous leading global diving brands to gather under one roof. Throughout the exhibition, there were frequent interactions between exhibitors and industry professionals, successfully generating an impressive transaction volume of nearly 1million USD, fully demonstrating the strong potential of Hong Kong's diving market.
