Role Of HKIDA

In the focus groups, respondents are commonly aware of HKIDA. However, most have not joined the association because of costs, or they are not aware of the association’s functions. Practitioners welcome the establishment of a “union” to promote the industry to the public, and negotiate with the Government to fight for more resources/ subsidies. They think that HKIDA could play a more active role in doing the above work and promoting itself to the industry. Respondents feel that by strengthening the bonding between HKIDA and the practitioners, practitioners’ recognition to HKIDA will be heightened.  In turn, their support of HKIDA and its projects will also increase.
