Yiwu Fair & Canton Fair: Must-visits for Overseas Buyers

YIWU, China, Oct. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The 114th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) opened on Oct. 15. As one of the world's most influential expos in China, it has attracted many overseas buyers and visitors.

Recently, the Transportation Bureau of Yiwu introduced "Transportation Support during 2013 Yiwu Fair," which added bus and taxi capacities for the Yiwu Fair -- making transport for buyers easy between the two fairs.

To meet the above needs and make it easy for overseas buyers to visit the upcoming Yiwu Fair, organizers have arranged all the details, including visiting arrangements like VIP channels and foreign language services for domestic and overseas buyers. Other arrangements include flights, hotel reservations, and shuttle buses.

To attract more overseas buyers to the Yiwu Fair, organizers have established a special subsidy. Buyers meeting the following three conditions can get 1,200 RMB for their flight tickets: 1) Visiting the Canton Fair or Hong Kong Mega Show 2013; 2) Entering China after Oct. 1; 3) Having transport receipts to Yiwu.
