Beijing - China
These days, the Chinese capital, Beijing, is witnessing the activities of the twenty-first session of the Beijing International Tea and Tea Arts Exhibition, which began last Friday and continues for four consecutive days, amid a remarkable turnout from local and foreign visitors alike.

Wide exhibition space and international participation

The exhibition extends over an area of 24,000 square metres, and hosts nearly 700 national and international brands representing the entire tea industry chain, from raw tea leaves to luxury tools, traditional clothing and derivative products. The exhibits vary to include the six main categories of Chinese tea, in addition to tea sets made of the famous Chinese porcelain and clay, providing the visitor with a comprehensive experience that combines taste and visual knowledge.

Expert opinions and market trends
In this context, Jia Guangdong, President of the Chinese Association for International Agricultural Cooperation, explained the pivotal role that the exhibition plays at the current stage, saying that the event aims to transform trade exchange into a basic function by summoning professional buyers and holding brand promotion sessions, with the aim of taking high-quality tea from mountainous regions to major markets, with a focus on transforming tea from a mere agricultural product into a tangible lifestyle that can be purchased repeatedly.

An economic portal for Arab tourists and investors
Given the growing importance of the Chinese tea market, which is close to exceeding the barrier of 5,900 billion yuan by 2030 according to economic studies, this exhibition represents a valuable opportunity for the Arab investor searching for promising sectors. Also, tourists coming from the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, who enjoy a visa exemption for a period of up to 30 days, can easily reach the Chinese capital and benefit from these events that allow them to learn closely about the ancient Chinese tea culture and purchase luxury products at wholesale prices, in addition to opening direct channels of communication with Chinese producers and exporters.
