A new aquatics fair is to be held this year in China. Aquaria China will be staged in Guangzhou, in the south of the country, from 9 to 12 September 2004. The organiser is CMP Asia Trade Fairs, which is also responsible for Aquarama in Singapore. The principal reason for choosing Guangzhou as the venue was that, unlike the case of Beijing and Shanghai, there are no pet product or aquatics shows as yet in this region close to Hong Kong.
