Frequently Asked Questions

Membership is open to all — private and public sectors, profit or non-profit organizations and individuals — who have a genuine interest in the betterment of business between Greater China and the Arab World.

The membership fee charged by the Chamber is reasonable. Dues pay for salaries, fees and the expenses of running the office — postage, supplies, insurance, telephone and internet — as well as promotional and marketing materials and signage.

Membership offers value well beyond attendance. Networking opportunities are available at every event, meeting and mission — and you can place an announcement about your business on the website or use the Chamber mailing list.

Visibility leads to credibility, which leads to profitability. Business runs on relationships: attending events, shaking new hands and getting to know people is how those relationships are built.

All members are encouraged — never pressured — to become involved. The Chamber has five standing committees; contact the Secretariat to learn more.

For a new business, membership is an investment rather than an expense: visibility and connection to the business community from day one.

Location has value — but the Chamber works to bring business to you. Your support enables the Chamber to keep supporting you.

The Chamber follows its mission statement and is developing a volunteer program — the Pathfinders — to assist with activities and events. In its 20th-anniversary year, focus areas include GCC–Hong Kong trade, Greater Bay Area opportunities and Islamic finance.

Chambers share several common goals — but the Arab Chamber specifically supports Sino-Arab initiatives and provides resources and advertising opportunities no other Hong Kong chamber offers.
