Develop a Premium Arts Trading Hub

176. Hong Kong is among the world's top three arts trading centres. We will step up our efforts to build Hong Kong into a global premium arts trading hub, attracting more international auction houses, galleries, and professionals to establish a presence here. Measures include:

1. Develop an arts ecosystem at the Airport City to host arts studios, galleries, and dealers under one roof, supported by large-scale arts storage and related facilities.

2. Enhance our international arts trading platform by deepening collaboration with Art Basel, thereby consolidating the position of Hong Kong as the exclusive host city in the region.

3. Engage the industry to carry out studies on taxation, financing, talent, and related areas of arts trading to explore policy measures applicable to Hong Kong.
