Four thousand exhibitors are taking part in CICCF 2008, which is being held in a state-of-the-art exhibition complex. Products from the clothing and household textile sector, electric and household appliances, basic commodities, office and leisure goods, together with decorations, gifts and fancy foods will be presented in the 90,000 square metres exhibition area. Over 30 other countries will have stands including Germany, Italy, USA, Japan, Thailand, Korea, Brasil, and Hongkong as well as Australia, Spain and Pakistan. 27 Chinese provinces will also be present. Buyers from a total of 113 countries have already registered to visit CICCF.
This year the journey to CICGF will be easier and quicker. The region’s prestigious project: the 36 kilometre long Hangzhou Bay Bridge will open conciding with the fair. This spectacular structure connects Shanghai to the province of Zhejiang and cuts the journey time between Shanghai and Ningbo from four to three hours.
All foreign exhibitors will be picked up free of charge from the Shanghai airport and brought directly to Ningbo. Tickets for overseas visitors are also free when they register with the CICGF at trade1@cicgf.com.
