The Canton Fair, held in Guangzhou twice a year in spring and autumn since 1957, has over 50 years of history and is the most prestigious, largest-scale, comprehensive international trade fair with the largest attendance and business turnover in China. The Fair is a comprehensive multi – functional event of international importance.

In order to visit the Canton Fair, you need to first get an Official Invitation. There are several ways to get an invitation, the easiest perhaps is if you already do business with a Chinese manufacturer, they can arrange it for you.
Once you have the official invitation you can then apply for a Business Visa. You can get a visa from the travel agent you are buying your flights to China from, or from a specialist visa company, or direct from the Chinese Embassy in London. It costs from ￡66 for UK citizens and you will need a photo, completed application form with the invitation, and valid passport.

When you arrive in Guangzhou before the fair, you will need to register and you can usually do this at your hotel, most of the business hotels offer this service. You’ll need a photo, 5cm x 4cm as well as your invitation and passport to get an entry badge, the IC card, which gives you free access to the exhibition.

The Chinese Import & Export and Commodities Fair, also known as the Canton Fair, is held twice a year in Spring and Autumn. It is China’s largest trade Fair of the highest level, of the most complete varieties and of the largest attendance and business turnover. Preserving its traditions, the Fair is a comprehensive and multi-functional event of international importance.

1957, the first China Canton Fair began at the spring. Only 13 trading delegations from 19 countries (or region) were represented in this Canton Fair, and over ten thousand products were exhibited there. The major buyers were from Hong Kong, Macao, and Singapore.
Trade shows are a great way to meet manufacturers, touch and feel their products first hand, and place orders on the spot. Traveling to trade shows is a significant investment, but you can deduct the cost of your trip from the business. Trade shows are excellent for networking and learning from others in your industry.
At the Canton Fair, we help our attendants all along the way to make their visit as easy as possible, including assistance with visa registration, help setting up meetings beforehand, finding accommodation and even entertainment. Business travel can be a chore, but we are always trying to find new ways to make your visit to China easy and enjoyable, while letting you get back home to your loved ones as soon as possible.

Also known as the Canton Fair, the twice-yearly event has been growing steadily since it first began in 1957 and has thrived with support by China’s Ministry of Commerce. In the decades since, China has emerged as a top tourist destination and a key component in the global trade engine, underlying the importance of the show to a vast number of industries.
The Canton Fair is the ideal platform because it offers various tools needed by employers to reach agreements, joint ventures, licensing agreements signed and many other negotiations, which are an eternal part of the property companies.

The event will take place over 3 5-day phases at Guangzhou’s huge Pazhou Complex: April 15-19, April 23-27, and May 1-5. The previous session boasted 58,714 standard booths from 24,213 exhibitors and enjoyed a turnover of more than US$37.9 billion. But the Canton Fair is only a small part of what visitors can expect to see.
The huge city of Guangzhou is itself an attraction worth visiting. It’s a hub of tourism, real estate, education, finance, and politics on the southern mainland and a vibrant example of 21st century China.

Guangzhou is known to be blessed with ecstasy for food lovers and shopaholics. There are many restaurants that provide traditional Guangzhou dishes. These mouthwatering delicacies are worth tasting as they are not a pinch to the pocket. Be it for pleasure or business, one can relax in this city as accommodation is comfortable and affordable.
It’s the perfect opportunity to mix business with pleasure, as visitors can explore Guangzhou’s many cultural attractions, historic architecture, fabulous shopping, and, of course, authentic Cantonese cuisine.

The Canton Fair has achieved great success after splitting into 2 phases since its 91st session in 2002. In the recent 6 years, the Canton Fair has developed better and better and enjoyed high reputation among the exhibitors and buyers. Under the leadership of the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, the research and investigation of the reform proposal has lasted for over 1 year and collected suggestions from all relevant sides, especially exhibitors and buyers through various means such as survey, seminar, on-site interview, and email. The exhibitors and buyers generally support the Canton Fair’s reform for 1 session in 3 phases.

Another excellent way to see the many products available is to go to a trade show. This allows you to walk the floor and see up close all the products in different industries and immediately talk business with the sellers. Often you can make contact with the companies then later do a factory visit after the show is over. The biggest trade show in mainland China is the Canton Fair which takes place twice a year in the fall and the spring. Another large trade show is the Hong Kong Mega Show which I haven’t attended yet but have heard good things.

China has come from being a third world country to one of the leading economy of the world in last six decades and Canton Fair is one testimony for the fact. It is quite interesting that Canton Fair at its early years was not a popular event and there were not many participants; however, once China grew and became an economic superpower the number of participants increased remarkably. The role of Canton Fair in the economy can be assessed from the fact that the fair serves as booster for the export and import of the nation and businessmen in China wait for the moment eagerly.
