(Hong Kong, 16 November 2005) Hong Kong’s renowned trade exhibition organizer - Kenfair International Limited is pleased to announce the tremendous results of its Mega Show Part 1 (The Hong Kong International Toys & Gifts Show and Asian Gifts Premium & Household Products Show), which was successfully held on 20 – 23 October 2005 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (“HKCEC”) and the newly-added Tamar Site venue.

This year’s Mega Show Part 1 is the first-ever trade fair in Hong Kong to use both the HKCEC and the nearby Tamar Site as exhibition venues. With 3,717 exhibitors from 36 countries and regions setting up 5,384 booths at the venues, the 4-day event attracted a record high 66,465 international buyers, up 4 % compared to last year’s figure.
