SHANGHAI: CMP Sinoexpo will hold three shows at Shanghai New International Expo Center on March 31 to display new building materials, hotel facilities and clean products.

The four-day shows, including Expo Build, Hotelex Shanghai and China Clean, will have 1,326 exhibitors to present their exhibits at an area of 110,000 square meters, said Wang Mingliang, executive board director of CMP Sinoexpo, today.

He said these shows still have a 10 per cent increase of visitors over last year even though they will be held under the shadow of the global financial crisis.

Sponsors will spend 300,000 yuan on setting up four model toilets designed by four world-famous designers to display the latest Italian products.

Whereas, Hotelex Shanghai will showcase exhibits from more than 700 exhibitors from 19 countries and regions.

A summit forum will be held to discuss the challenges and opportunities China's hotels are facing, said Zhang Hong, project director of CMP Sinoexpo.
