Location
The trade show is held annually on September 8–11 in the southern coastal city of Xiamen, Fujian on mainland China.[1][5]
History
CIFIT started out as the Fujian Fair for International Investment & Trade (FFIIT).[6] It was held for the ten years between 1987 and 1996.[6] Then came the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation (Moftec) of the People's Republic of China who saw the opportunity to expand this trade show to include marketing the rest of China for foreign direct investment.[6] Consequently the FFIIT was promoted officially to CIFIT in January 1997.[6]
CIFIT has steadily grown in the numbers of visitors such as investors, business people, economic institutions and intermediaries. This is due to its unique way of attracting foreign capital and investment.[7][8]
