Minister Rosanna Law says coliseum had in past given priority to sports events, but venue must be repositioned to maximise value after Kai Tak park opening
Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom will be repositioned to hold more concerts following the launch of Kai Tak Sports Park, the city’s tourism chief has said.
Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law Shuk-pui also revealed on Saturday the government would reserve some venues for long-running performances and Cantonese opera to ensure groups that staged quality performances had a chance to rent venues for shows.
Law said Hong Kong Coliseum could be repositioned following the opening of Kai Tak Arena at Kai Tak Sports Park, which officially opened in March.
“With the opening of Kai Tak Sports Park, Hong Kong’s sports and entertainment experience has been elevated to an unprecedented level,” she said in a speech at a wealth management summit.
