Daniel Cheung of Hong Kong Exhibition Services Ltd says: "HOFEX has in the past always attracted leading industry names such as IBM and Micros-Fidelio into its dedicated technology event, but our new co-operation with the world-leading HOSTEC brand will definitely bring another dimension to the show." 

HOSTEC-EurHotec 2004 which attracted close to 7,000 visitors in London, is co-produced by Accuvia and the IH&RA, and is universally acknowledged as the leading technology event in the European hospitality and foodservice markets as is FS/TEC, a partnership between Accuvia and Nation�s Restaurant News, in North America.  Now Far Eastern hospitality and foodservice professionals too will benefit from the HOSTEC expertise, personified by HOSTEC and Accuvia Founder and Chairman Rob Grimes.

Comments Rob: "we are delighted to be working with Hong Kong Exhibition Services on this, HOSTEC's first venture into the Asia-Pacific region.  Their unparalleled expertise in this part of the world convinced us that this is the ideal entry point for the HOSTEC Exhibition and Conference, in the world's fastest-growing marketplace. HOSTEC-ASIA and HOFEX is a perfect match to showcase all the latest international hospitality and foodservice technology developments."

Exhibitors at HOSTEC-ASIA 2005 will benefit from HOFEX's continually growing visitor profile, which in 2004 saw nearly 27,000 trade-only professionals attending the four-day event, including 7,000 from overseas. In 2005, in addition to benefiting from the established HOSTEC exhibitor profile featuring all the world's leading technology specialists, visitors will be able to sit in on a series of specialist presentations, seminars and workshops in the accompanying HOSTEC-ASIA conference. 

Said Daniel Cheung: "Senior decision makers in the USA and Europe have already benefited from HOSTEC�s expertise in this field.  Now at HOSTEC-ASIA it is the turn of their Asia-Pacific colleagues, who themselves are leaders of some of the world's most sophisticated and progressive hospitality and foodservice industry organisations to benefit from the global expertise of HOSTEC.  HOSTEC-ASIA at HOFEX 2005 is a unique first for the sector, and we believe the start of even greater things to come."
