At the start of the new year, everything takes on a new look. Riding the wave of the "New Year," the China (Beijing) International RV & Camping Exhibition and the China (Beijing) International Outdoor Camping Exhibition are set to soar once again. On January 12, 2017, the "14th China (Beijing) International RV & Camping Exhibition & 2017 China (Beijing) International Outdoor Camping Exhibition - Press Conference" was grandly held at RV World · Beijing RV Expo Center. Media reporters, experts, leaders, and corporate representatives came together to focus on the exhibition theme, take a broad view of industry development, and explore the future path of China's RV & camping industry.
This exhibition is jointly organized by the RV Committee of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, 21st Century RV, and RV World, and hosted by Beijing Campers RV Exhibition Co., Ltd. With a total exhibition area of over 70,000 square meters, more than 400 companies participating, and an expected attendance of over 80,000 visitors, domestic and international RV manufacturers, dealers, chassis and RV parts suppliers, campsite designers, campsite equipment producers, prefab homes, outdoor gear makers, as well as RV enthusiasts and end users will all gather to showcase the latest RVs, accessories, and popular camping and outdoor equipment for the year 2017.
Having gone through 13 editions, the China (Beijing) International RV & Camping Exhibition has developed into a barometer and trendsetter for China’s RV & camping industry. Continuing to strive forward and lead industry trends has become its mission and responsibility.
Reviewing favorable policies and focusing on hot industry topics
National policies are closely tied to industry development. This press conference will review the major "bonuses" of 2016. First, in September, the General Office of the National Tourism Administration and five other ministries jointly issued the "Notice on Accelerating the Construction of 2016 Self-Drive RV Campsites," further implementing the State Council’s directive to "accelerate the construction of self-drive RV campsites, with 500 sites to be built in 2016," which is expected to drive investments of 35 billion yuan. Then in November, the National Tourism Administration and 11 other ministries jointly released the "Several Opinions on Promoting the Development of Self-Drive RV Tourism" in Beijing. Further policy measures aim to establish, by 2020, a number of self-drive RV tourism destinations with comprehensive public services, launch a series of premium self-drive RV tourism routes, cultivate a group of chain-brand enterprises in self-drive tourism and campsite operations, enhance the technical support capacity for RV products and usage management, form a networked campsite service system, and build a complete self-drive RV tourism industry chain. The goal is to have 2,000 various types of self-drive RV campsites established.
The relevant policy environment has significantly improved, the industry scale has rapidly expanded, and both development quality and overall benefits have greatly increased, preliminarily forming a self-drive RV tourism industry system. With strong national support, demand for self-drive travel and RV trips in China is robust, growing at nearly 40% annually, presenting unprecedented vitality and dynamism in the entire industry. Discussions at the press conference on hot industry topics further prove that expanding the outdoor camping segment is the most important and wise decision for the Beijing International RV & Camping Exhibition. The 2017 China (Beijing) International Outdoor Camping Exhibition will respond to the national call to promote the camping industry and energy-saving, low-carbon policies. With the theme of "Embrace Nature, Low-Carbon Living," it will feature zones for campsite construction and development, leisure camping, outdoor gear, and family culture building. The exhibition will further expand in scale and scope, striving to become a comprehensive expo covering the entire camping industry chain.
