The UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation aim to recognise and encourage conservation and restoration projects under private initiative and public-private partnership within the Asia-Pacific region. Since the launch of the award in 2000, UNESCO has received 556 entries from 24 countries. A total of 168 projects have received such awards, including the 14 winning projects from Hong Kong.
Organised by the Commissioner for Heritage’s Office of the Development Bureau, the roving exhibitions display stunning pictures of the 14 historic buildings, along with information relating to their historical and architectural features. By showcasing their achievements, it can enhance public awareness of these award-winning projects and the significance of heritage conservation.
