China Export and Canton Fair
China has become, in a few years, the second largest economy in the world, only after the United States. It is the most dynamic country within the BRIC group, of emerging economies, and the only one in the world that has maintained accelerated economic growth in full general recession of the world economy, as a result of the economic and financial crisis. In recent years, people have been calling China the Factory of the World, due to the spectacular development of the manufacturing industry. A large number of foreign companies, by establishing themselves in China, have made it possible for this country to give its economy an extraordinary boost.
Made in China was previously synonymous with “poor quality”, but now it has acquired the meaning of “good and cheap” or “the best price-quality ratio”. Chinese products have made an enormous contribution to the prosperity of the world market and the improvement of the lives of people in different countries. What is the best way to find suppliers of varied products? Without a doubt, the best way is to go to the Canton Fair, that is, the “China Import and Export Products Fair”, where more than 20,000 export companies and hundreds of thousands of export products are present. It is the largest trade fair in China, with the largest and widest variety of products, the largest number of people attending and the making of the largest number of business agreements. Like many trade fairs, it has many traditions and functions as it represents an event of great international importance.
The business methods of the Canton Fair are flexible and diverse. In addition to viewing traditional samples and transactions, online fairs are also held. The fair mainly focuses on export trade and also does import business, it can also carry out various forms of economic and technical cooperation and exchanges, as well as business activities such as commodity inspection, insurance, transportation, advertising and consulting. The exhibition hall of the fair is located in Pazhou Island of Guangzhou, with a total construction area of 1.1 million square meters, a total indoor exhibition hall area of 338000 square meters and an area of 43,600 square meter outdoor exhibition hall. The fourth phase of the Canton Fair exhibition hall project, the 132nd Canton Fair (i.e. 2022 Autumn Fair) was put into use, and the total exhibition hall area of the Canton Fair Guangzhou after its completion reached 620,000 square meters, which will become the largest exhibition complex in the world. Among them, the indoor exhibition area is 504000 square meters and the outdoor exhibition area is 116000 square meters.
The fair is held in two seasons of 3 phases each. In each phase, different types of industries are presented:

Guangzhou is prepared to accommodate all visitors and exhibitors. As for hotel capacity, there is no problem. However, it rises a lot during the days of the Fair. In some cases the price is tripled. Therefore, we recommend that foreign exhibitors book hotels in advance. To reserve hotels, there are many possible ways, either through travel agencies abroad or online. Naturally, you can find information on the Fair portal about the location, category and price of the hotels and make the reservation through the Fair organizers, which is somewhat cheaper.
The Fair offers interpreter service in different languages, including Spanish. You can fill out the interpreter reservation request form online. The Fair will provide you with appropriate interpreters, according to your needs.
