One of the Chamber’s biggest and most sociable events took place at the Hong Kong Club on 10 December as members got together for our annual Christmas Cocktail Reception.

After welcoming everyone, Chairman Aron Harilela reported on some of the Chamber’s achievements in the past year, including organizing more than 300 events ranging from overseas missions to opportunities to meet with Consuls General.

“As the ‘voice of business’ in Hong Kong, the Chamber has been working tirelessly to lobby the authorities on issues concerning the business community,” Harilela said. “And we have seen results. Thanks to the Government adopting our proposal, I trust many of you are enjoying the two-tier tax system.”

He concluded by wishing all members a very happy Christmas and a prosperous 2019.
Attendees enjoyed drinks and canapes, and the opportunity to chat to the Chamber’s leaders as well as more than 600 fellow members as the festive season got underway. 

Santa Claus also mingled with the guests and handed out souvenirs while a lucky draw – with prizes generously donated by our members Luk Fook Holdings, Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong and Artyzen Hospitality Group – was a highlight of this fun and festive occasion.
