ASAP Show is pleased to announce the 9th edition of the ASAP Buying Trip to China and the 3rd Edition of Fashion International Trade Show (FITS). The eleven-day trip will take place Friday October 19th through Monday October 29th. Participants are advised to depart from the U.S.A. or E.U. to arrive at Pudong Airport in Shanghai where they can check in to their hotel.

The buying trip will include visits to Hangzhou and Ningbo. Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, is Zhejiang’s political, cultural and economic center. It is an important city of economy on the south wing of Yangzte Delta, and since the adoption of the reform and opening-up policy the GDP of Hangzhou has increased at an average rate of 22.3% annually. The main industries of this region include the business of textile, silk, machinery, electronics, chemicals, light industry, and food processing.

Ningbo is a coastal city in the Zhejing province and is one of the most important ports in all of China as it enjoys a sound infrastructural basis. Since the beginning of reform and opening up, Ningbo has undergone extraordinary growth both in social and economic development. It has become a very important industrial city and foreign trade port in eastern China.

During this trip participants will have the opportunity to attend the 11th China International Fashion Trade Fair, a part of the Ningbo International Fashion Festival. It will take place at the Ningbo International Convention Center from October 22-25th, 2007. The show is spread over 500,000 square feet with more than 2200 companies exhibiting their fashion and production capabilities. The show attracts over 20,000 visitors from allover the world.

All buyers would have much to gain by visiting Ningbo and Hangzhou in terms of new supply sources, key partners, and finding distribution channels in two of the most vibrant cities in China. FITS is the ideal venue for US fashion brands to meet with master licensees and find local distribution agents to market their product in China.
