Buyers said they prefer to travel to Hong Kong for trade shows due to quality and variety of suppliers, and overall trip convenience. Most said they will attend more shows and stay in Hong Kong longer to do so. This bodes very well for local service industries and gives strong support to Hong Kong's role as 'Asia's trade show capital'.\"<\/p>\n<p>The survey also shows that 62% of buyers plan to attend both Global Sources' China Sourcing Fair: Electronics &#038; Components and the HKTDC Electronics Fair in October.<\/p>\n<p>58% of respondents said they would stay in Hong Kong longer to visit both of the electronics and components trade shows this October. 25% plan to stay one or two days longer than on previous trips; 12% plan to stay more than five days longer.<\/p>\n<p>The surveys were sent to 7,527 buyers and drew 548 valid responses.
