THE 9TH XIAMEN INTERNATIONAL STONE FAIR<br />
XIAMEN, THE GREAT<br />
SHOWCASE OF CHINA<br />
The 9th Xiamen International Stone Fair will be held from March<br />
6-9th with the aim of proving itself as one of the most influential<br />
Asian events in the industry. The Chinese city of Xiamen, known<br />
as the world capital of stone, welcomes this important exhibit, the<br />
largest selection of the latest product innovations, technological<br />
advances, design solutions and services related to the natural stone<br />
industry. The 2009 Chinese trade fair’s display floor will stretch out<br />
to cover 90,000 m² and expects more than 75,000 visitors.<br />
With the experience of successfully organizing<br />
eight previous events, the Xiamen<br />
International Stone Fair ensures that exhibitors<br />
meeting in the Chinese city will have<br />
the best business opportunities at their reach.<br />
Buyers and participants from all corners<br />
of the world will be able to find various<br />
high-quality commercial options.<br />
The Chinese fair is also an exceptional<br />
opportunity for visitors to be at the forefront<br />
of stone industry innovations and to make<br />
purchases among the widest selection of products<br />
offered directly from manufacturers.<br />
For the trade fair’s 2009 presentation,<br />
the Xiamen Fair organizing committee has<br />
increased the event’s propagation beyond<br />
China’s borders even more. Besides mass<br />
media promotion in influential media in<br />
China and abroad, the organization has<br />
greatly expanded its communications efforts.<br />
To this effect, they put forth plans to set<br />
up stronger cooperation with stone associations<br />
and international operators. The<br />
constant exchange between the main production<br />
and consumption countries of natural<br />
stone has given the trade fair’s promotions<br />
an added value.<br />

MORE VISITORS<br />
The last fair in 2008 had an attendance<br />
of 1,000 exhibitors and 70,981 visiting professionals.<br />
Each year, the Asian fair experiences<br />
an exponential increase in comparison<br />
to the previous year. In 2009, it is<br />
expected to continue the same progress it<br />
has maintained since its first event in 2000.<br />
The fair has impressed the industry<br />
with its high level of growth in floor space<br />
and exhibits. This year it is expected to satisfy<br />
these high demands again. Included<br />
among the attendees are quarry owners,<br />
contractors, builders, architects, designers<br />
and manufacturers.
