WTCANC is proud to once again host our annual Alaska-China Business Conference!
This is Alaska’s only event dedicated to recognizing and highlighting the significant commercial ties between Alaska and China. As many of you know, China is Alaska’s number one export market, and has been since 2011. Annual exports from Alaska to the Middle Kingdon range from $1.3 to $1.6 billion. China is Alaska’s number buyer of Alaskan resources in virtually every category of our export industries. China is currently the world’s largest outbound tourist market and will soon become Alaska’s largest foreign tourist source.
WTCANC has just returned from a trade mission to Xiamen China in order to participate in the China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT). This is one of the most important gatherings around the world for the promotion of cross border trade (imports and exports) and investment. Six Alaskan companies traveled with us and at our Alaska booth we promoted the products and services of 20 different Alaskan companies.
If your company is currently involved in the China trade or if you are considering getting involved, this a must-attend event. You’ll gain valuable insights and make important contacts.
