The finance sector is well represented in the stadium during the weekend. Each year, the boxes are hotly contested by Hong Kong's corporate titans, who know there is no better platform for networking and getting together with clients and colleagues.
'Our sales for boxes have been very strong this year, with all hospitality boxes and Jade Club packages sold out in October last year,' says tournament director Warrick Dent (pictured).
'The renewal rate was very high, with approximately 95 per cent of last year's box holders renewing. We are fortunate to have very strong support not only from our box holders, but also with our event sponsors.
'Our co-title sponsors - Cathay Pacific and Credit Suisse - along with our official sponsors - Coca-Cola, EMC, Kukri, Guinness, Telstra International - continue their support.
'A very conservative estimate is the Hong Kong Sevens injects US$40 million into the Hong Kong economy, although this doesn't include figures relating to the many corporate events and hospitality during the week. The real figure is probably far greater.'
