Three major sports events to be held in June have been awarded "M" Mark status by the Major Sports Events Committee.
They are the 9th Hong Kong DanceSport Festival - WDSF GrandSlam Hong Kong 2016 to be held from June 4 to 5, the CCB (Asia) Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races from June 10 to 12 and the FIVB Volleyball World Grand Prix - HK 2016 presented by Watsons from June 24 to 26.
Committee Chairman William Ko said the events will add colour and vibrancy to Hong Kong and help attract more visitors.
The "M" Mark system began in 2004 to help local national sports associations organise more major sports events and nurture them into sustainable undertakings.
Around $96 million has been approved to support "M" Mark events which have increased from four in 2004 to 11 last year.
