Business society, October 16th, the 104th Guangzhou Fair opened yesterday, the fair, the "one session of the three period" of major reform, the total area of more than 1 million square meters, the size of the world's first place.

According to Wen Zhongliang, director of the Guangzhou Trade Fair's business office, after the three phase reform, the fair can accommodate 53 thousand booths, an increase of more than 10 thousand booths over the previous session, so that 3000 exhibitors can be increased, bringing the total number of exhibitors to 2.2.

Gao Hucheng, Vice Minister of Commerce, who participated in the fair, said that in the past 30 years since the reform and opening up, the Canton Fair has always been determined to reform, constantly renewed its vitality and vitality, and achieved leapfrog development.

Exhibitors are still optimistic about Canton Fair.

Due to the fact that the volume of bookings in Guangzhou and its surrounding hotels was significantly less than that of the same period last year, many media are concerned about the actual number of people who are buying the first day of the Canton Fair.

A reporter who has participated in several Canton Fair shows that in Pazhou Exhibition Plaza, it is obvious that the number of foreign buyers is less than that of the previous session. Many buyers have gone to the square to take photographs before 8:30. But before yesterday, the buyers came to the scene after 8:30.

Yang Hongnan, chairman of the US China Export Association of the US general agency of Guangzhou Fair, said that due to the financial crisis, some American businesses were struggling and unable to concentrate their energies on opening up the Chinese market. This has some influence on the confidence of American exhibitors at this fair.

At the last Canton Fair, there were 22 American exhibitors in the import exhibition area, and only 4 came here.

However, many domestic exhibitors contacted with reporters still showed full confidence.

The person in charge of Guangdong Seiko building materials Co., Ltd., said that the company has participated in the 6 Canton Fair. The number of visitors to the Trade Fair yesterday has not been significantly reduced compared with the previous Canton Fair. The official said frankly that the volume of turnover was not large on the first day of opening, but she thought it was normal. So did the past Canton Fair.

Some other domestic exhibitors also said that the opening day was better than their previous expectations, and they were confident in the Canton Fair. A hardware exhibitor even decided to increase the platform of the company from the original one to three before the opening of the Canton Fair.
