Having concluded on March 31st after a total of 8 days (4 for the first phase and 4 for the second), the 47th CIFF Guangzhou occupied 750,000 square metres of exhibition space, divided among almost 4,000 exhibitors. Attendance numbers were impressive: 357,809 qualified trade visitors, a +20.17% compared to CIFF Guangzhou 2019, the last edition held over two phases before the pandemic, despite a limited presence of foreign visitors at the exhibition.
