The first two phases of the 140th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) have concluded, with the third phase, themed "Better Life," scheduled to run from October 31st to November 4th. The continued influx of buyers from around the world is stimulating demand for accommodation and transport, as well as interest in Guangzhou's cultural and tourism offerings.

Data from HopeGoo, an international travel platform under Tongcheng Travel, show that as of October 30th, Guangzhou topped the national rankings for hotel bookings covering stays from October 15th to November 4th, with bookings up more than 145% year on year.

The platform's data also show that bookings for attraction tickets in Guangzhou rose by 56% during the Canton Fair compared with the same period a month earlier. During the breaks between exhibition phases, bookings rose 73% month on month. Half-day small-group tours focused on technology and robotics in Guangzhou, private half-day tours of XPeng Motors & Tech Island, and two-hour small-group tours of Guangzhou's textile business district have become new options among international buyers looking to explore the city.

During this year's Canton Fair, Guangzhou's cultural and tourism sector has also introduced new experiences under the theme of "exhibition + city." These include seasonal autumn cultural and creative markets, interactive technology experience spaces near exhibition venues, and immersive night tours showcasing Lingnan culture. Guangzhou's downtown duty-free shops have also introduced special offers and benefits for Canton Fair guests, encouraging international buyers to extend their trips beyond "closing deals" to exploring the city, its industries and its lifestyle.
