■Uncover Industry’s Secrets
 
High Profit Lead to Speculation
 
“It’s a pervasive phenomenon interiorly that exhibition add ‘China’’ , ‘International’, ‘Biggest in Asia’, ‘Biggest in the world’ in the title . Meanwhile , they list some company with English name in the organizer to make it more believable . In fact , they are all falsely use foreign brand . According to a senior insider .
 
According to Chinese related regulations , once an exhibition including 20% foreign exhibitors can it name with “International” . In principle , exhibitions are not allow to name with “China” , unless it receive the approval of related department , meanwhile it must be operated over two terms and cover 10000 ㎡.
 
So why so many exhibitions are bound up in naming with “China” or ”International” ? About this , insider point out :”Because of high profit . ” As introduction , a booth can charge RMB 5000-6000 , but for international exhibition a booth can charge 2-3 times higher , even up to RMB20000.
 
“Exhibition industry is immature so far , many exhibitors are not sane , they all flock to an exhibition when ‘International’ and foreign organizer appear ”
 
It’s hard for exhibitors to safeguard legal rights and supervise department to enforce the law . Most of exhibition are just 3 days , it’s too late for exhibitors to complain when problems arise . Field personnel acknowledge that they are temporary worker , most exhibition are schedule on weekend , related department are not on duty .
