International Buyers Expected at bauma China 2008

bauma China 2008 provides an ideal business opportunity for both exhibitors and their buyers and an ideal communication platform for them.

As of to-date, visitors from 101 countries have pre-registered themselves online at www.bauma-china.com. A large number of international visitors will also be visiting bauma China 2008 through arrangements by travel agencies. There is also a rapid increase in the number of visitors coming from Southeast Asia, Middle East and South America regions. This increase is closely related to the increase in oil prices in Middle East and South America regions, leading to increased number of construction projects in these regions. The recovery of Brazil, the center for construction machinery industry in South America, is another reason for this increase in visitors from South America region. The potential of these new and upcoming construction machinery markets around the world cannot be ignored.

With Year 2008 being the year of the Beijing Olympics, bauma China not only attracts trade visitors from outside, it also attracts visitors from within China. Trade associations from various provinces and cities in China will be organizing group visits for their members. From the feedback received by the organizer, responses from the trade associations in various provinces and cities are high.
