Hotelex Shanghai teams up with Alibaba

Buyers  at Hotelex Shanghai 2016 will be gauranteed better sourcing experiences with Chinese exhibitors who have joined Alibaba.com's Trade Assurance — a free program that provides various levels of protection to buyers in relation to product quality and shipment time committed by sellers on the Chinese e-commerce giant. Exhibitors at Hotelex Shanghai 2016 who are enrolled in Trade Assurance as eligible sellers will therefore gain additional credibility  with buyers who source through Alibaba.com.   In addition, visitors can learn about the latest trends and opportunities in the cross-border trading environment through various forums onsite — for example, how OneTouch, a subsidiary of Alibaba.com, provides exporters with trading services including customs clearance and logistics enhancing export efficiency; and the sourcing opportunities on 1688.com, one of the biggest wholesale trading platforms in China .
