Sponsored by HSBC and the Airport Authority Hong Kong, Bamboo Promenade is designed by the Hong Kong Design Institute and the Vocational Training Council and also supported by the Federation of Hong Kong Industries. All the bamboos will be given a new lease of life after the fair and planted at the Hong Kong International Airport, very much in keeping with its sustainable nature.
