Ok, Canton Fair in Guangzhou is coming up fast. Now is the time to book your hotel and airfair for the show.
Perry Belcher here again so let’s get started. Here are my 4 biggest tips for a newby.
Perry Belcher China Travel Tips
#1 Fly China Southern Airlines – They are the only airline with directs daily flights from L.A. to Guangzhou. Coach is around $1100 but the big secret is First Class is just $3700 and Business is $2300 You’ll pay three times that on an american airline. The service in first and business is top notch. Don’t know about coach but it couldn’t be worse than Northwest, HA!
#2 Stay at the China Marriot Hotel – It’s located directly if front of the older convention center. More importantly, it’s where the movers and shakers gather. I have some great deals in the bar here after a long day in the show. It’s pricey, around $450 a night but you’ll save $50 a day in transportation and the western food is the best in Guangzhou.
#3 Get a translator. They congregate around the old convention center directly in front of China Marriot at 8AM every morning. Get there early to get the best picks. Ask questions and carry on conversation to see if they understand your concept not just your words. Going pay is around $35 but the fee to bring them in the show is $30 a day so choose wisely.
#4 Find a buddy. I am organizing a group if anyone is interested please let me know. I have been to Canton Fair 9 Times and know the show by heart. Ialways enjoy taking people for their first time.
Good Luck and See You In China,
Perry Belcher
