In 2004, with 250 exhibitors from 59 countries and an exhibition area of over 15,000 m², the seventh edition of Pet Fair Asia proved again that the pet industry is booming in Asia, and, especially, China. For 2005, as a renewed concept of Pet Fair Asia, Pet Fair Asia Professional has been reconstructed as a strictly business-to-business event. PETSLink Asia is an one-day symposium discussing the challenges of doing business in Asia, especially in China. Pet Fair Asia Professional and PETSLink Asia will also provide optional facility tours that allow to see first-hand the production methods of potential partners and provide for a better understanding of the quality of Chinese sourcing facilities and their ultimate possibilities. Pet Fair Asia Professional will be held at The Shanghai New International Expo Centre from 22-23 September.
