Every year, the Badminton Championships attracts world's top 10 elite players to join the competition in Hong Kong, involving over 20 countries or territories such as China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Japan, England, Denmark, etc.
The Badminton Championships was awarded the "M" mark status by the Major Sports Events Committee in 2005, making it an annual major sports event in Hong Kong. Apart from providing an opportunity for the public to enjoy a world-class tournament, it stimulates their interest towards the sport of badminton. On average, a total of more than 200 overseas players, coaches and staff will come to Hong Kong for the competition every year, while quite a number of badminton fans make their special trips here to enjoy the excitement. This will not only help raise Hong Kong's profile, but also facilitate the development of local tourism.
