Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) Chairman Dr Y.K. Pang pointed out in his welcome remarks at the Summit, "as the main growth engine of the global luxury market, Asia-Pacific—including Mainland China—presents immense opportunities. China alone is projected to account for 25% of worldwide luxury sales by 2025. For luxury brands, Hong Kong serves not only as the ideal springboard into this rapidly expanding market, offering a platform to connect with discerning consumers across the region; it is also a powerful magnet attracting all those discerning consumers and HNWI, who live the luxury lifestyle."

Alberto Galassi, CEO of the Ferretti Group believes Hong Kong is ideal for investment of luxury brands and yacht tourism. "Hong Kong always played an important role for Ferretti.

We listed in Hong Kong 2022, and we are the only company in the world dual list in Hong Kong and in Milan Stock Exchange, and we have expanded our office in Landmark. The city's stunning architecture, impressive skyline, beautiful sea, and high-quality hotels, and its people, all contributes to Hong Kong's status as global luxury hub, not just for yachts but for all aspects of life. With more infrastructure, Hong Kong has a huge potential to develop yacht tourism because the city is unique like nowhere else". he noted.
