Trade Show : China Golf Show Returns in March 2013 For the World’s Largest Market

As China’s most influential golf show eyeing on the world’s largest and fastest-growing market, the annual China Golf Show ("CGS") returns March 22-24, 2013 with 30,000 square meters and 400 brands at China National Convention Center, Beijing, China. CGS is a leading sourcing and networking event covering the entire supply chain in China - from golf equipment & accessories to golf technology, from golf course construction & maintenance to golf facility management. It provides local and international industry professionals with the most effective platform to learn market trends.

According to the Forward White Paper - China Golf Industry Report (2011), the number of golf courses in China reached 500 in 2010 and the number is expected to be doubled by 2020. The market demand for personal golf equipment in China is expected to reach USD 1,400 million by 2014. And by 2020, the number of golfers in China will increase to 20 million. These forecasts give strong credence to the increasing market demand in China.

For international golf brands starting on entering the Chinese market and those local manufacturers expanding their business overseas, CGS is without doubt the best breakthrough point. Organized by Reed Guanghe Exhibitions and the China Golf Association, and officially supported by PGA, GCSAA, GCBAA and ASGCA, the event delivers exclusive industry resources to both exhibitors and visitors.

"We could not have imagined a more successfully assembled exhibition, not only for the industry, but also for the players and enthusiasts." said Jon Hunt, Group Director of International Design Group, "There was something for everyone at the show. We were so impressed with the show that our single booth of 2012 will be increased to a double booth in 2013 and we are already excited about returning. The sense of optimism over golf development was palpable. As a company, we are yet to crack the China market but now with a Chinese speaking director and with the help of Golf exhibitions like this one, we are confident about our future business in China. "

In CGS’s 2013 edition, the 18,000 qualified visitors expected include 550 high-profile TAP Diamond VIP Club buyers. TAP Diamond VIP Club is an elite platform launched by China Golf Show 2012 to strengthen exchanges among senior executives of golf companies. TAP Buyers refers to top decision makers from the real estate, golf course and distributors with clear buying intent and in possession of a purchasing list. A total of 512 TAP buyers visited the show last year. Among them close to 59% were general managers, purchasing managers, 34% were from Pro Shop and 7% were golf course developers. This year, the TAP buyer will amount to 550 in China Golf Show.

Apart from diving into the world of the latest designs and technologies, the attendees can also benefit from the Demo Day, held at Beijing’s prestigious golf clubs, as well as the popular onsite activities including Education Seminars and PGA Main Stage Clinic– all for FREE! All these unmatched advantages have made 2013 China Golf Show a must-attend event for golf trade professionals and enthusiasts.
