MACAU, July 28 - The “Celebration of 75^th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China, and the 25^th Anniversary of Macao’s Return to the Motherland ‧ 2024 Guangdong & Macao Branded Products Fair” is open to the public from today (26) to 28 July with free admission. Boasting the record-largest exhibition space with an area of over 12,000 square metres, the 2024GMBPF gathers more than 450 exhibitors in 501 booths to display and sell branded products for domestic or business purposes from Guangdong, Macao and Belt and Road countries and regions. The fair features the “New Gourmet Tasting Zone 2.0” with cooking and food tasting on the spot and immersive experiences for China Chic and smart hotels. Over 75,000 exquisite gifts are prepared for visitors upon their admission to celebrate the two anniversaries. In the one-stop fair, visitors can satisfy their cravings to eat, shop and play.　

The 2024GMBPF is also committed to improving the B2B matching scenarios. In the first two days of the event, three matching sessions were arranged, namely the “Hotel Facilities & Services Area Exhibition Guided Tour and Business Matching Session”, the “Smart Devices Area Guided Tour and Business Matching Session”, and the “China Chic Product and Service Business Matching Session”, in which over 350 business matching events were held.

In the “Hotel Facilities & Services Area Exhibition Guided Tour and Business Matching Session”, personnel from the six integrated tourism and leisure resorts and hotels in Macao and the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Co-operation Zone in Hengqin were invited to visit the Hotel Facilities & Services Area and participate in business matching. During the business matching session, they held meetings with exhibitors. By focusing on the “1+4” strategy for appropriate economic diversification, they aimed to help enterprises expand business opportunities. The participating enterprises were pleased with the arrangement and the result of the session, where they have learnt about a diverse range of products and explored new markets and business opportunities. A representative from a hotel in Macao said that since the hotel would like to introduce more elements for environmental protection, they have discussed with a water dispenser supplier through the session, and both parties were interested in in-depth exchanges afterwards. Another representative from the Co-operation Zone noted that through that session, they were able to get in contact with a variety of quality suppliers from Macao and mainland China specialising in hotel supplies and kitchen appliances, among others.
