Every year, the Hong Kong Open attracts the world's top ten badminton elites to Hong Kong to participate, with over 20 countries and regions participating, including China, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, England, Denmark, and others. In 2023, the Hong Kong will be one of the qualification events for the Paris Olympics, and it is expected that top badminton athletes from around the world, including Olympic and Asian Games medalists, will gather in Hong Kong to compete for the championships.
In 2005, the Badminton Championships were recognized as an "M" Mark event by the Major Sports Events Committee, and it has since become an annual sports event in Hong Kong. The event not only provides the general public with the opportunity to enjoy world-class matches but also stimulates their interest in the sport of badminton. In addition, on average, more than 200 overseas players, coaches, and staff come to Hong Kong to participate every year. With a significant number of badminton fans traveling to Hong Kong to watch the exciting matches, the event helps to increase Hong Kong's profile and facilitates the development of its tourism industry.
