reassured that the venue has always adhered to the highest standards of hygiene and maintenance . This is evidenced in AWE ’ s three-dimensional approach to covering health and safety of individuals , environment and facility hardware .
From the holistic to the individual approach , AWE has been meticulous in overseeing installation of the world ’ s first three-in-one disinfection channel ‘ CLeanTech ’. The installation helps to sanitise each visitor ’ s outfits and carryon items in just 12 seconds .
AWE has also used advanced botanical air purification technology to sanitise the crowd environment , as well as Aegis Intelligence , a patented photocatalysis formula that features an anti-virus coating effective for up to 12 months .
AsiaWorld-Expo even has its own intelligent sterilisation robot ( ISR ) geared up and programmed for the sterilisation effort . It is equipped with multiple disinfection modes , and features ultraviolet light steriliser , 360-degree disinfectant spray-heads and
air filtration ( HEPA ), which can sterilise up to 99.99 % of bacteria . The ISR is already patrolling a regular beat and sterilising the halls at AWE , and is very much in action during move-in and move-out periods for events , ensuring that the air and all surfaces are fully sanitised .
AWE is also helping its clients benefit from the subsidy support on offer to organisers from the HKSAR Government . Funding worth more than HK $ 1bn ( US $ 131m ) is available for organisers of exhibitions with over 1,200sqm of exhibiting area , and to international conventions with over 400 participants ( at least 50 % of whom must come from outside Hong Kong ). The scheme includes a 100 % venue rental subsidy for events to be held at AWE in the coming year . Organisers with postponed events can benefit from the scheme , too , by confirming their revised schedule within the promotional period . To further support the MICE industry , AsiaWorld-Expo would offer extra incentive or sponsorship for new shows .

AWE has never slackened its pace during these past difficult months and is ready to welcome back clients in the New Year with an array of visionary sanitisation measures and venue upgrades as we work together for the swift bounce back of our businesses .
Air Travel Bubble takes flight
The HKSAR government has welcomed more good news with the agreement establishing a bilateral Air Travel Bubble ( ATB ) with Singapore from early December . Travellers under the ATB are not be subject to any quarantine or Stay- Home Notice requirements under certain conditions , i . e . travellers would need to have negative test results in both cities and travel on dedicated flights . Hong Kong is in discussion with more cities about similar cooperation , including Japan , Thailand , Vietnam , Malaysia and New Zealand . Let ’ s hope the news heralds a positive and better year in 2021 .
