Visit the EFTTA Lounge at China Fish next month

EFTTA is looking forward to welcoming visitors to its custom-built lounge facility at China Fish 2010 on 23-25 February in Beijing. The special 50 sqm lounge has been designed to help western buyers have a more efficient and comfortable visit to China Fish 2010 as well as provide an efficient meeting place for discussions.

The lounge has been designed to offer a comfortable seating area, free internet access, refreshments and interpreter services. EFTTA personnel will also be available to assist visitors and provide information on EFTTA and EFTTEX. The lounge will be open to all western buyers, EFTTA members and non-members and other western trade associations.

Similarly, China Fish will be hosting an equivalent lounge at EFTTEX 2010 in Valencia, Spain. China Fish will be able to welcome eastern buyers, visitors and exhibitors onto its stand and provide information to the western trade community on China Fish’s pending actions, projects, IPR issues and other relevant information.

EFTTA CEO Jean Claude Bel said at the time of securing the arrangement between the two associations, “We are in agreement that providing the best support possible to our members is very important while they travel thousands of miles from home. We hope our members will use these opportunities. Both trade associations are looking forward to meeting members in 2010.”

The news of the EFTTA Lounge has been welcomed by Chinese exhibitors, particularly those with strong international ambitions. Zhu Guohua, Sales Manager for Ningbo Zhongyuan Alljoy Fishing Tackle, said: “The EFTTEX Lounge will be a good chance to learn more about the demands of international markets, which will be very useful in helping us develop new products.”

And Ms Zhang, the Sales Manager of Weihai Longyue Sports Product Company, said: “We hope to find new business opportunities at China Fish and establish our own brand. I welcome the opportunity to visit with EFTTA and learn from their experiences.”
