Since the 16th Asian Games successfully lowered its curtain in Guangzhou, the city is now embracing an “after-Asian-Games Era”. As south China’s major city, Guangzhou’s tourism industry sees enormous opportunities. The GITF this year will undoubtedly contribute to the tourism development in both Guangzhou and the entire Asian-Pacific region.

The active participation by overseas players will render the travel fair more international, with 46% of the exhibitors from outside of China. The convening of international tourism leaders will add exotic charm to the fairground. In addition to the major tourist destinations represented in previous years, this year’s show includes tourism bureaus from Hungary, Israel, and Mexico. The supporting country Israel, the platinum sponsor Emirates Airlines, the largest individual international stand holder Macau City of Dreams, and the national tourism organizations from China Macau, China Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, Turkey, Spain, Austria, Czech Republic, Egypt, Dubai, Sri Lanka, India, Mauritius, Nepal, Cambodia and Slovakia, have all made bulkier investment in this year’s show. Newly developed tourism products and services will provide visitors with wonderful experience of traveling around the world.
