A series of positive news has come since the Chinese Spring Festival. After the removal of centralized quarantine for inbound travelers, and annulment of the restricted health control policy, China has resumed the issuance of visas for foreign nationals and has been easing immigration procedures to fully reopen the borders ever since.

Recent Good News
- China abolished the entry quarantine and full nucleic acid testing since January 8
- Restrictions at the Guangdong-Hong Kong land port entry and exit including nucleic acid testing have been lifted and normal traffic has been resumed since February 6
- Beginning of spring season - end of March- international passenger flights will be restored to the pre-epidemic level of 15-25%;
- Positive rates for outbound passengers have dropped to single digits and continue to decrease: the positive rate for Chinese travelers has dropped from 8% to 1% in Japan; the positive rate for Chinese travelers in Korea is zero;

Why July

Ideal time: The July date guarantees foreign exhibitors and visitors sufficient time to prepare for their trip to China. It is also the optimal time to ensure that China has achieved herd immunity, and has adapted living with the virus.

   
Ideal place: China continues to be an essential market for foreign companies that want to remain competitive on the global scene. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised its 2023 China growth outlook sharply to 5.2 percent (from 4.4 percent in its October 2022 forecast), citing the reopening of the country’s economy after lifted anti-epidemic restrictions.

Ideal platform: DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR is the leading flooring exhibition in the Asia Pacific region and the second largest flooring show worldwide. As part of the DOMOTEX family event portfolio, the 24th edition solidifies itself as the main business platform for the global flooring industry in the Asia Pacific region.
