A one-day corporate programme in Guangzhou's trade district. Pazhou holds the Canton Fair complex, and the city around it runs the sourcing, inspection and logistics businesses that foreign buyers rely on. The day pairs a company visit with briefings on the fair, on sourcing practice and on the Greater Bay Area. Groups of 2-30.
Morning - Pazhou and the Canton Fair complex
The China Import and Export Fair, known as the Canton Fair, has run in Guangzhou since 1957 and is held twice a year in spring and autumn. Its exhibition complex at Pazhou is among the largest in the world by floor area. Your host walks you through the district and explains how the fair is organised by phase and product category, and what it takes to exhibit.
Late morning - The sourcing ecosystem
Guangzhou's advantage is not only the fair: the province around it manufactures clothing, electronics, furniture, lighting and hardware, and the city's trading companies, freight forwarders and inspection firms exist to move those goods to foreign buyers. A briefing covers how sourcing agents, quality inspection and shipping typically fit together.
Lunch
A business lunch in Pazhou or Zhujiang New Town.
Afternoon - Company visit and briefing
