The Shanghai New International Expo Centre will buzz with industry experts as the Hotel & Shop Plus gets underway.
Hotel & Shop Plus is China's leading trade show for hotels and commercial space and has been devoted to serving the hospitality and commercial industries for over 30 years. The 2024 event promises to be another one-stop sourcing platform for hotel construction and operation, as well as for various commercial space requirements such as design, lighting, and technology.
The event will focus on detailed elements for hotel owners, such as building and decorating, bathroom and ceramic features, hardware, smart systems, security management, collaborative office systems, furniture, and much more, spanning the 210,000 square metres of exhibition space. More than 2000 exhibitors will also be on show, with visits from over 124,000 trade buyers, and 80 forums.
In 2023, the overall boom in the travel market brought a solid recovery for the industry, which was notable at last year's Hotel & Shop Plus expo. Buyers from several other industries were also in attendance, including representatives from real estate development, retail and shopping centres, supermarkets, and F&B owners.
This year's event will focus on a series of themes such as architecture and interior design, hotel investment and operation, lighting design, smart office, and commercial retail, among others. Various activities will also be in play, including forum salons, design awards, competitions, and unique creative exhibitions, with the ultimate aim of discussing the industry's future together, exploring new knowledge, and leading the new trend of commercial space.
The event has input from several organisations, including the China Tourist Hotel Association, China Commerce Association for General Merchandise, China Association of Lighting Industry, China Architectural Culture Centre, and Sinoexpo Informa Markets.
The Shanghai Architecture and Interior Design Week Design Week Shanghai will take place at the 2024 expo, comprising a series of activities represented by the IDF Chinese and Foreign Designers Summit Forum China International Building & Interior Design Forum (IDF) and the Crida China Catering Space Design Competition China Restaurant Interior Design Awards (CRIDA). This will fully explore excellent design capabilities, deepen industry exchanges through multi-dimensional cross-border dialogue, and create an international design exchange platform. This has allowed exhibition design to reshape and envision hotel and commercial consumption scenarios with a more diverse sense of experience.
Hotel Culture Week will also be held during the 2024 expo, showcasing cutting-edge hotel operation concepts in all aspects through forums, events, and competitions. The Hotel Plus sample room tasting Hotel Plus Mockup Room Show, China Hotel Procurement Summit Forum, Hotel Brand Culture Festival, Hotel Uniform Show, and Hotel Room Skills Competition are all listed on the week's schedule.
The Business Series Shop Plus Forum at the 2024 expo will be a collaboration of representatives from such organisations as the China Department Store Business Association China Commerce Association for General Merchandise, resulting in the Mall Shop Smart Show Shop Plus show. This has been included as a way for industry officials covering several industries to converse with one another. Activities during the Mall Shop Smart Show Shop Plus show include the China Shopping Mall Development Forum, the China Outlets Industry Development Forum, the China Digital Retail Development Forum, and the China Catering Space Design Forum Forum of China Restaurant Interior Design Awards (CRIDA).
