Finally, this piece of work is out after almost three years. The journey of this publication is very bumpy. Back to 2021 Jan, we came up with the idea to explore how COVID-19 changed the way of trade fair services which is related to my previous work at Hong Kong Trade Business Development Council. We aimed at another journal and went through 3 round R&R. However, I was struggling with my PhD thesis submission in 2022 and decided not to go further. While I was the one on the downer, my supversior encouraged me saying we would find another home. Maureen Benson-Rea thank you, you are always there being supportive. And we find another decent home for this articule. This research explores the impact Covid-19 has generated on the event services sector and how SERVQUAL (tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy) could be applied in an emerging virtual setting. This study is published in Journal of Convention & Event Tourism. Read the full artcle here: https://lnkd.in/gAUYkZV8

More from my interview with Dr. Marie Peoples for ICMA - International City/County Management Association.

And we don’t just have to borrow from our immediate neighbors.” Best practices in local government know no boarders, and we can all learn a thing or two from professionals like her who stay open minded and agile when it comes to their leadership.

We published a report about the China International Import Expo. In the lead up to the 6th CIIE taking place from this weekend, we surveyed our member companies in Shanghai about their experiences with the CIIE. We found that participation has fallen since the first CIIE in 2018 by 10 percentage points. While renewal rates remain high, new attendees have been harder to attract due to logistical barriers and high costs of participation - especially for SME. Overall, it is seen by our members as a political show, best placed for promotion and marketing rather than business impacts. Our report suggests recommendations for how the CIIE can be improved going forward, to find out more read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gbNJGXS6 #europeanchamber
