Intertextile Beijing Apparel Fabrics takes advantage of a vital buying season in China

Intertextile Beijing Apparel Fabrics, running 29 - 31 March 2009 at the China International Exhibition Centre, provides textile manufacturers and traders a means to enter what is expected to remain a strongly buoyant market in China.

China's government is offering tax and fee breaks to the textile industry to help weather the slowdown in external demand and has infused the overall economy with money to maintain the country's economic growth.

For example:
* Since July, the government has twice increased refunds of value-added taxes to textile exporters
* Other programmes include direct investment, rebates, reduced fees and other incentives specific to the textile industry
* The central government has also invested RMB 4 trillion and the local governments together RMB 10 trillion to keep the economy stable

As a result, China's economy - and demand for textiles - is expected to be far less affected by the crisis than nearly any other place.

An event to help make inroads into the China market

Intertextile trade events have been held for 15 years across China. That experience has helped build one of the largest and most professional series of trade fairs in the country. In Beijing, the show in 2008 welcomed 25,000 visitors from 74 countries and featured 1,130 exhibitors in 48,000 sqm of trade space.

"Trade fairs offer the best return on investment for marketing dollars so we are pleased that despite the poorer economy worldwide, trade fairs in China are maintaining their popularity," said Ms Wendy Wen, Director of Trade Fairs for Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd.

Intertextile Beijing Apparel Fabrics offers two other advantages: the show takes place during a key trade season in northern China, and it offers special bonuses for early bookings and repeat exhibitors.
