From November 28th to 30th, the 2019 China Sports Culture Expo and China Sports Tourism Expo (‘the Expos’) will be held at the PWTC Expo in Guangzhou, according to the Sports Culture Development Centre of General Administration of Sport of China.

Guangzhou will hold the 2019 China Sports Culture Expo and China Sports Tourism Expo in November.

“2019 is the year of sport in Guangzhou,” said Gao Yuyue, Vice Secretary-General of Guangzhou’s Government. “Guangzhou has not only held the Guangzhou International Dragon Boat Invitational Tournament last week, but is also preparing to hold the FIBA Basketball World Cup, BWF World Tour Finals and other wonderful sports events over the following days.”

“Guangzhou is vigorously pushing forward the establishment of the Great Bay Area,” said Tian Ye, Director of the Sports Culture Development Centre of General Administration of Sport of China. “We aim to promote the trilateral communication between the sports and tourism industries of Guangdong, Hongkong and Macao through the Expos.”

Tian stated that the Expos would also see an exhibition of the achievements in sports field that China has been behind over the last 70 years featuring photos and meaningful items, such as gold medals and tracksuits.
