Mega Show Part 1 is one of Asia's largest autumn sourcing fairs, held every October at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in Wan Chai. Running since the early 1990s and organised by ComAsia, it fills the venue with thousands of exhibitors across gifts, premiums, housewares, kitchen and dining, lifestyle products, toys, baby goods and festive and Christmas items. It draws importers, wholesalers, retail buyers and product developers from around the world who come to source consumer goods manufactured across Asia. For a hotel-booking traveller, Hong Kong's density works in your favour: the harbourfront HKCEC sits in the heart of the city, minutes from Wan Chai and Causeway Bay hotels and directly served by the MTR, including the Airport Express from Hong Kong International Airport. Staying near the venue means walkable access to the halls plus the dining, transport and business amenities of one of Asia's best-connected cities.
Popular areas for attendees: Wan Chai · Causeway Bay · Tsim Sha Tsui.

Do you need a visa for Mega Show Part 1?
Visa-free entry to Hong Kong SAR
- Hong Kong maintains its own immigration system, separate from mainland China; a mainland Chinese visa does not cover Hong Kong.

Travellers who need a visa in advance
- Nationals of countries not covered by visa-free arrangements must obtain a Hong Kong entry visa/permit from the Immigration Department before travel.
- A separate visa is required if you plan to also enter mainland China, as Hong Kong entry does not permit onward mainland travel.
- Apply early and carry proof of your trade-fair business purpose and return travel where required.
Entry rules change; confirm current requirements with the Hong Kong SAR embassy or official immigration site before booking travel.
First time at Mega Show Part 1?
