One
of Asia’s fastest growing travel and tourism events, the Beijing International Tourism Expo (BITE),
to be held at the Beijing Exhibition Center from 19 June - 21 June 2008,
is expecting record numbers this year. As one of the approved events leading
up to the Beijing Olympic Games, BITE 2008 will serve as a prelude to the sporting event of the year with
an Olympics theme presentation.
The three-day mega tourism event
will occupy more than 20,000 square metres of floor space and will showcase over 100 destinations.
The event is expected to attract 30,000 visitors.
Greece
is participating as ‘Partner Country’ for the third year running and
is taking up the largest
exhibit space of 800 square metres. Equally supportive this year are Korea, Syria, Italy, Egypt, Turkey, Czech Republic, India, Pakistan,
Sharjah, Morocco, Malaysia, Tunisia, United Kingdom and Japan; most of which have increased their exhibit space by threefold.
First time
exhibitors such as Tahiti and Republic of Azerbaijian are also recognising the
benefits of BITE with their debut
appearance at the event. With over 95% of space confirmed or reserved, BITE 2008
will easily surpass it’s
preceding years’ performance.
The
Hosted Buyers Programme is also on target with some 75% of top-level buyers from more than 30 countries confirming
their participation.
The Beijing International Tourism Expo
will be open to trade visitors in the first two days and to the public on the last day.
