VISITING

The internationally recognised halal travel promotion company CrescentRating was commissioned by the Hong Kong Tourism Board to carry out a series of work, including assessing local hotels, attractions and MICE venues based on categories and standards on par with international benchmarks. To achieve Gold Certification for a MICE venue, it must meet several stringent rating requirements.

The HKCEC has been Accredited as a Muslim friendly MICE Venue by CrescentRating for two consecutive editions since 2024, the first MICE venue in Hong Kong being classified Gold, the highest ranking of CrescentRating accreditation scheme, reassuring the good experience that the exhibition centre has created for Muslim exhibitors and visitors.

Separate prayer spaces for male and female users are set up on the second floor of the HKCEC, marked with the direction of Qibla and equipped with prayer mats for use. The restrooms next to the prayer room are now equipped with water-friendly facilities, including hand showers and ablution facilities.

HML also caters for the dietary needs of Muslim visitors by providing Halal certified food at the concession stands during events, and HML’s food and beverage team can also provide tailor-made Halal menus upon request.
