The Canton Fair, in Guangzhou, is often thought to reflect China's trade and economic development, especially after it joined the World Trade Organization in 2001.

So, now the fair is providing more professional services to exhibitors and purchasers alike, as it grows in scale and revenues.

As early as 1999, the fair's host, the China Foreign Trade Center, had established a special department for exhibitor services. It now also tries to get other groups such as the media, industrial associations, government offices and international organizations involved.
