18+ Central adult-only carnival organisers hoping sex sells Hong Kong to Sevens fans
Organisers plan something for everyone at Harbourfront, but only the ladies are allowed to touch
It is no coincidence Hong Kong’s first adult-only carnival falls on the same weekend as the tourist-laden Hong Kong Sevens, its organisers said on Wednesday.
“We are intentionally attracting tourists looking to enjoy their time after watching the Sevens,” said Kenny Lo, CEO of organiser Vertical Expo Services, which organised previous Asia Adult Expos in Hong Kong and Macau. “They will go to Lan Kwai Fong [after] so they can spend the night at the carnival [first].
“We tried our best to pick a time when Hong Kong is full of tourists for our 10 [stages and workshops]. They are in a big city so they will be expecting to enjoy something exciting – we’re making content to fit their demands.”
The two giant tents include one main stage, five sub-stages and four workshops of different erotic and artistic themes. There is a strong focus on the female and young couple demographic.
