Kochi-based Skytime Tours and Expeditions, one of Kerala’s leading international tour operators, has announced an exclusive travel package for business owners, first-time buyers and frequent importers planning to visit the Canton Fair in Guangzhou.
Through the initiative, the company aims to make international sourcing more accessible, organised and comfortable for travellers from the state.
The Canton Fair, which is one of the largest trade fairs in the world, attracts thousands of exhibitors across manufacturing, technology, consumer goods and industrial sectors. The 139th Canton Fair (Spring 2026) will be held at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, featuring three phases between April 15 and May 5. It is the world's largest trade fair, covering 13 categories and 55 sections for industries including electronics, manufacturing, textiles, and consumer goods.
In view of the rising interest from entrepreneurs in Kerala, Skytime has curated a travel programme that covers premium accommodation, guided visits, major attractions, inter-city bullet train transfers and full support throughout the trip.
Skytime officials said the new initiative is designed to avoid the usual travel complexities associated with business trips to China. Travellers can expect four-star hotel stays in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, escorted entry to exhibition halls, visits to iconic landmarks, and additional market tours to help buyers explore product categories beyond the main fair.
The package includes curated experiences that blend business with leisure, from visits to global theme attractions to tours of leading wholesale markets known for electronics, fashion, décor and lifestyle products.
Aimed at providing buyers with a stress-free and productive international sourcing experience, the company will offer well-planned logistics, meals and on-ground assistance.
With China continuing to be a leading manufacturing hub, Skytime says the demand for China tour packages from Kerala will rise further as more small and medium businesses seek direct supplier connections. The company noted that this launch reflects its commitment to supporting Kerala’s business community with high-quality travel solutions.
Skytime said the trip, scheduled for April, is aimed at participants seeking structured access to the Canton Fair along with value-added visits to nearby commercial hubs. The programme will allow participants to explore product innovations, evaluate suppliers and plan bulk purchases.
With this announcement, Skytime reinforces its position as a trusted organiser for Canton fair packages from Kerala, combining professional travel management with hands-on support for buyers. Interested travellers can contact Skytime directly for more details.
