Despite the economic slowdown, organisers of Asia Outdoor claim exhibitor applications are up 30% compared with the number registered at this point last year. The fair runs July 30 to August 2 in Nanjing, China.

Organisers believe the increase is linked to the country’s relative stability, claiming that official statistics show industrial production in China rose 8.3% and retail sales increased by 14.7% in the first quarter.
