Hong Kong Feast and Retreat Association

The Hong Kong Feast and Retreat Association is an organization representing the city's catering industry. Its chairman, Edward Leung Hei, has recently been vocal about the sector's performance and strategies. The association is actively involved in finding ways to boost business for Hong Kong eateries, such as exploring creative customer attraction methods to capitalize on events like the Fifa World Cup, aiming for significant business growth despite challenges like time differences. Furthermore, the association has commented on the impact of major public holidays, like the Easter break, on the food and beverage sector. They have noted how a substantial outflow of Hong Kong residents during these periods can negatively affect local business, highlighting the industry's sensitivity to demographic shifts and seasonal travel patterns. The association's current relevance lies in its role as a spokesperson for the F&B industry, addressing both opportunities and significant challenges impacting its operations and profitability.
