SHANGHAI is set to host next year’s edition of China International Travel Mart (CITM), armed with a host of new hardware offerings.
Connie Cheng, vice chairman, Shanghai Municipal Tourism Administration, said the city had completed its preparations for the event. “We will tap the combined resources of Shanghai’s tourism service providers and the municipal government, in tune with the efforts of the national tourism bureau to make the event a success,” she said.
CITM 2012, scheduled to take place from November 15-18, will feature 57,500m2 of exhibition space at the brand new Shanghai New International Exhibition Center (SNIEC) in Pudong.
New accommodation options include the 574-key Kerry Hotel, Pudong, the 182-key The Residences at Kerry Parkside, and the 401-key Jumeirah Himalayas Hotel Shanghai, all of which are located within walking distance of SNIEC.
Subway connections via Line 2 and Line 7, as well as the inner ring road and various highways, will provide the necessary connections, said Cheng, adding that these routes were rigorously testing during the World Expo.
