Strict pandemic prevention measures were put in place to ensure that the exhibitors and visitors alike, were able to participate with peace of mind. The annual HKBF in July used to be the summer event, attracting large numbers of students. However, with this year’s summer school vacation brought forward in response to the pandemic, students had to attend school this July. This significantly reduced the number of student visitors at this year's HKBF. Previous editions of HKBF had also attracted numerous visitors from abroad. However, many foreign authors and publishers were unable to participate 4 - popularnews 142 this time round as borders had yet to be fully reopened, along with the strict quarantine regulations put in place by the government for international travellers. Hence, the visitor numbers of the HKBF 2022 paled in comparison to previous editions as COVID-19 continues to pose significant challenges to the organisers. With the pandemic factors and the reduced number of visitors in the HKBF 2022, the concerted efforts of all our staff saw Popular Hong Kong performing even better than last year, with Pan Lloyds Publishers setting a new record. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to every staff who had participated in the HKBF 2022 for a job well done!
