Event Code: M151210WL The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Guangdong Pilot Free Trade Zone-Hengqin New Area are the hot spots of regional development. In view of this, the China Committee is organising a one-day visit to Zhuhai and Hengqin on 10 December, 2015 to let members learn more about the new development plans in these areas and explore the business opportunities brought by the development of the ”bridgehead economy”. During the visit, representatives from local governments and enterprises will greet our members, and participating members will walk on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (Zhuhai part) to have a closer look at the construction progress. Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: The Bridge is a large sea crossing linking Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao. With the Bridge, travel time between Hong Kong’s Lantau Island and Zhuhai City will be reduced to around 40 minutes, bringing Hong Kong, Zhongshan and Jiangmen cities closer. It will be the new land transport link between the east and west coasts of the Pearl River, sprouting economic and sustainable development in the three places. Hengqin New Area, Zhuhai: In late December 2014, the State Council officially approved the establishment of Guangdong Pilot Free Trade Zone and confirmed its exact location and scope. It announced that Hengqin New Area in Zhuhai will be officially included in the Guangdong Pilot Free Trade Zone. Recently, Hengqin has been actively pursuing development of high-end service industries in the city, and announced special preferential policies related to taxation. In addition, in order to strengthen the cooperation with Hong Kong and Macao, Hengqin also plans to act in concert with Macao to become an international tourism and leisure centre.
