China's tourism industry remains aggressive, especially in the areas of meetings and events. A prime example is World Expo 2010, which begins just a year from now in Shanghai. Expected to have the highest attendance in terms of visitors, the city is preparing to welcome approximately 70 million visitors. Acknowledging this upswing in tourism, particularly business and conference travel, the JW Marriott Luxury Hotel on Nanjing Road, Shanghai, will be offering special deals and incentives for travelers to Shanghai for the World Expo.

Acknowledging this upswing in tourism, particularly business and conference travel, the JW Marriott Luxury Hotel on Nanjing Road, Shanghai, will be offering special deals and incentives for travelers to Shanghai for the World Expo.
"This expo will help to establish Shanghai's status as a major economic and cultural center," said Dominic Sherry, regional vice president of sales and marketing for Asia Pacific. "We have expanded our Shanghai portfolio greatly in the past few years and are ready to serve groups coming in for pre and post Expo activity."
In focusing on meetings and events, theJW Marriott luxury conference hotel in Shanghai on Nanjing Road will be launching a "Meetings in China" initiative with a new website at MarriottMeetings.com.cn, which will target the specific needs of this segment. In addition to the JW Marriott Shanghai luxury hotel at Tomorrow Square, the site will also feature Marriott properties throughout the country and provide event stories, incentive ideas, maps, destination information, and much more. User friendly and easy to navigate, the site's landing page will lead directly to the RFP page for group inquiries.
"Our global sales offices and marketing team are working closely with the local government and businesses to align our customer partnerships," said Mr. Sherry. "Most incoming traffic for Marriott hotels in China is mainly domestic guests, followed by USA, Japan and Germany."
