As one of the international metropolitan cities, Shanghai is readily
accessible by sea, land and air. It is connected with more than 400
cities in the world by air links and ocean shipping routes. It is
also a very safe city, conveniently laid out and a compact destination
with one of the world's easiest and least expensive public transportation
systems. Everything in Shanghai is within reach via taxies, buses,
metros, trams and ferries.
Due to the dynamic growth of the past decade, millions of dollars
have been pumped into local infrastructures, we pride ourselves with
almost every famous hotel brand name having a property in Shanghai,
the airport, convention and exhibition centers as well as other new
facilities are of world standard.
Professional service standard, convenient transportation networks,
varied travel activities and modernized communication systems have
helped Shanghai organize and receive regional and international events
of all levels. The successful hosting of events such as Fortune 500,
APEC and ADB have put Shanghai on the map for the MICE market in the
world. In 2001, the city received more than 2 million international
tourists among which 50% are overseas meeting arrivals, who attended
over 200 meetings in Shanghai.
