It's not the New Year yet, and the popularity of the exhibition continues to soar.
At the press conference of the press office on January 26, Wang Wentao, Minister of Commerce, will continue to hold important exhibitions in 2024, actively support enterprises to participate in overseas exhibitions, and help enterprises expand the market and get orders.
Not only the official statement, but also the impatient exhibitors who are "rolling" in China have also set their sights overseas, regarding overseas as an incremental market that is bound to win next year.
The organizers are also very active and are ready to show their strength overseas. 
*From the web. Many friends in the exhibition industry are talking about this and want to promote their own exhibitions to the world. In addition to the traditional European and American markets, the Russian and Middle Eastern markets are also particularly active, and Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, and Indonesia are all popular destinations.
There are many opportunities and challenges for holding exhibitions abroad, so you must quickly seize the bonus period and plan well.
For the organizers of their own exhibitions for the first time, they must not only have a plan and strategy, but also solve some key problems first. We asked some of the best lakes who have been at sea for many years to see what they have to say. 
Go to sea to hold exhibitionsqWhat qualifications do I need to have to apply for my own exhibition? a：According to the experience of overseas ** lakes, domestic qualifications are not required to hold exhibitions at sea, but if you want to apply for domestic subsidies or public officials participate in the exhibition, it is best to report.
qWhat are the procedures to be completed in the local area? Do I need to report to the local **? A: According to the feedback from overseas exhibitions, most countries do not need any procedures for overseas exhibitions, but they also need to be determined according to specific countries, such as Indonesia, which needs to go through relevant procedures. Although most exhibitions need to be reported to the local ** before launching, this procedure is relatively simple.
qDo I need to set up a local company to hold an exhibition? A: It is not necessary to set up a company, and many overseas and local roles related to exhibition services, such as exhibition halls, builders, and service providers, can assist in filing. However, according to the experience of the exhibition ** lake, it is best to find an exhibition service provider overseas that specializes in the local market, which can help solve more than 90% of the problems, and some can also help you apply for exhibition subsidies locally. 
Domestic DeclarationqIf I need a domestic subsidy, how do I declare it? A: At present, there are no detailed rules for the specific subsidy for exhibitions, but according to the "Administrative Measures for the Examination and Approval of Holding Economic Exhibitions Abroad" revised in 2021, the organizer must be registered for more than 3 years, with a net asset of not less than 3 million yuan, and an asset-liability ratio of no more than 50, which is a mandatory requirement.
qWhat documents do I need to apply for the project? A: The project application report is indispensable, as well as the "Application Form for Holding Economic Exhibitions Abroad" and the letter of consent from the embassy or consulate of the destination country. There are some additional requirements for the first exhibition, such as the project feasibility report and correspondence to prove that the project has been communicated in the early stage; A copy of the legal person registration certificate, capital verification report, financial annual report, balance sheet, tax payment certificate, etc. prove that you have the ability to hold the exhibition, and it would be better if there was an approval document from the competent unit to endorse it.
qWhen can I apply each year? A: Submit the project application to CCPIT before the last working day of February, May, August and November every year. Moreover, it is required to submit the application 6 months in advance, so the first half of the year should not be able to catch up, and if you want to carry out the second half of the year, you must hurry up.
qWhat are the other procedures after the application is approved? A: 2 months before the opening, submit the application for review and the corresponding ** documents to the CCPIT, and the project cannot be cancelled once approved; If there is a real need for change, it is necessary to notify the CCPIT and the embassy or consulate of the destination 3 months in advance.
qWhat are the procedures for personnel and exhibits to hold overseas exhibitions? A: At present, the relevant requirements found are issued during the epidemic period, requiring the relevant regulatory departments to verify the documents required for the export of development products with the "Approval Document for Holding Economic Exhibitions Abroad" issued by the CCPIT. At the same time, departments at all levels need to check the documents one by one. However, considering that there is no longer the impact of the pandemic, it should not be so strict.
qWhat are the requirements for the exhibition group organized by the organizer? A: Each standard booth (9 square meters) allows 2 people, and the maximum time is four days before and after the opening time. In addition, if there are provincial and ministerial-level personnel participating in the exhibition group, they need to report in accordance with the regulations.

Exhibition Operation
q
What else should I pay attention to? A: Before the overseas exhibition project is established, there are a few things that need to be done in advance.
Market Research:
It is necessary to have an in-depth understanding of the needs of the target market, the competition situation, and the characteristics of the industry to ensure that the content of the exhibition is in line with the local market.
Cultural and linguistic differences:
You also have to consider cultural differences, such as language communication, marketing strategies, etc. Risk assessment and response:
Including political risks, exchange rate risks, legal risks, and contingency plans.
Funds and budget management:
It is also necessary to develop a detailed financial plan, including budget, funding, and cost control.
These things are inevitably a bit out of reach for domestic organizers, and it is recommended to find a local exhibition service company in the destination, especially an experienced and large-scale company, which can provide more comprehensive support.
For example, if you go to Russia and the Middle East to hold exhibitions, you can find ITE Exhibition Group, which has been deeply cultivated in these two regions for many years and has significant advantages. There are similar "top students" in various regions and industries, and looking for them to cooperate and stand on the shoulders of "top students" to go to sea can avoid detours.
Judging from the current domestic visa-free policy and the series of operations of the official statement, the tone of 2024 is to go to sea.
The overseas market is so big, there must be a place for us, right? 2024 is not only about "going out", but also about "earning back". Author: Pan Tao, exhibition ben columnist. 2024 Travel Guide
