Following the hugely successful launch of the China WTO Corner last year to keep members up to date on the latest changes to WTO regulations affecting China and the opportunities for Hong Kong businesses, the Chamber has now zeroed in on the Pearl River Delta to develop an area-specific Web page, PRD Corner.

As Hong Kong moves towards closer economic integration with the Pearl River Delta, a freer flow of information, and greater awareness and understanding of developments within the region will become increasingly important.

Launched at the end of March, the new section attracts a steady stream of visitors, says Eva Chow, Director of the Chamber's International Business Division.

"We are like an information bank, providing a collection of news, programmes, reports ... in fact just about anything to do with the PRD," she explained.

The Chamber has an agreement with the state-run People's Daily, as well as China Daily to list daily news related to the PRD on the site, and is negotiating with other media to list useful news. It also writes and disseminates reports on the delta, and visitors can also make use of selected links to other trade organisations and government Web sites in the PRD.

"The PRD Corner gives members a great deal of information about what is happening in the Pearl River Delta," Ms Chow said. "They can then analyse this information to see what possible business opportunities are there for them to capitalise on."
