CVS: connecting Chinese travellers with Dubai
The China Visitors Summit (CVS) is the premier global workshop where Chinese travel buyers come to learn about destinations, experience travel products firsthand, and network with potential partners. Since its inception in China in 2008 and its expansion to the Middle East in 2013, the summit has become the essential meeting point for travel suppliers—hotels, destinations, attractions, shopping centres, airlines, destination management companies, and more—to connect with Chinese travel industry buyers.
A dynamic marketplace
The energy at CVS is unmatched; suppliers are constantly on the move, meeting with eager buyers who are actively seeking to form partnerships in Dubai and the UAE. The event is not just busy—it’s a bustling hub of business activity where real deals are made, and long-term relationships are forged.
