Canton Fair Lowers Fees to Attract Buyers

In order to allure more foreign buyers during the world financial crisis, the 105th Canton Fair coming in April is offering more favorable terms to participants.
All booth rental costs will be lowered this year, and buyers that have taken part in the Canton Fair more than 15 times or belong to the world's top 500 enterprises will be offered a round trip ticket and free accommodation.
The number of participants in this Fair is up to 22,000 now, with 52,270 booths already occupied.
Mu Xinhai, a spokesman from the Fair, remarked that, "This is the hardest period for the event in recent years." More promotion will come out later to help stimulate this major Guangzhou business sourcing event, he added.
At the upcoming 105th Canton Fair, booths in the C district will be reduced by 2,000 yuan, while those in the A and B districts will be down by 1,000 yuan. Free WiFi will be provided in all exhibition halls and the opening time for the event will be extended for one extra hour.
The 105th Canton Fair is scheduled to launch from April 15th to May 7th, 2009.
