The Cathay Pacific Sun Hung Kai Financial Hong Kong Squash Open 2016 has been awarded "M" Mark status by the Major Sports Events Committee.
The event will be held August 21 to 28.
Committee Chairman William Ko said, like all "M" Mark events, the tournament will add colour and vibrancy to Hong Kong and help attract more visitors.
"M" Mark events showcase Hong Kong's capability to host world-class events and reinforce its position as the events capital of Asia, he added.
The "M" Mark System began in 2004 to help local national sports associations organise more major sports events and nurture them into sustainable undertakings.
