Slight rise in visitor, exhibitor numbers at CITExpo

The 11th edition of the China International Tire Expo, held earlier this month in Shanghai, attracted 7,303 visitors. This number represents a slight rise in attendance over 2012, and organiser Reliable International Exhibition Services says that 4,263 visitors, or 58 per cent of the total, came from outside China. The 24,000 square metre exhibition space housed 335 exhibitors, ten per cent more than last year.

Reliable International Exhibition Services says that 80 per cent of the exhibition space for CITExpo 2014 was booked before or during this year’s show. “Most of the exhibitors have increased their exhibiting space aggressively to accommodate more high-valued professional buyers, enhance their company image and maximise the opportunity to accomplish more trade orders,” said the company in a press statement.

CITExpo 2014 will be held in the same venue from September 10 to 12 next year.
