International exhibitors were pleased. Lorenzo Destro, Sirman SpA said: “For our company, HOTELEX, once again has been a “MUST” event. Compared to the recent years, the 2010 edition seemed to be really the best. The show has become an extremely important place to meet with our existing distributors and an irreplaceable meeting point to find new sales opportunities for our company. The attendance of non-Chinese visitors and exhibitors seemed to be stable. All in all, HOTELEX keeps its status of China’s most important event in the hotel industry.”
