 ◆ Shanghai Stages Seven International Exhibitions

A string of seven major international exhibitions opened recently in Shanghai.

The 11th Shanghai international fair for articles for hotel use,the largest of these parallel events, is being held in the Shanghai Guangda Convention and Exhibition Center.

Six other international exhibitions - on yachts, building ornamentation, security and fire protection equipment, wooden flooring and wooden household articles, ceramic ware for building use, and lighting equipment - are being held in the Shanghai International Convention Center, Shanghai World Trade Center or Shanghai International Exhibition Center.

About 70,000 visitors will visit the exhibitions, where the products of nearly 1,000 domestic and overseas companies are displayed, sources say.

It is the first time that Shanghai has held seven international exhibitions simultaneously, which indicates its exhibition industry has been greatly modernized and internationalized, experts say.

Dao Shuming, a Shanghai tourism official, said Shanghai would make further efforts to boost its exhibition business, which would greatly boost the development of relevant industries in China.
