IHG celebrates twin milestones with China expo

IHG Hotels & Resorts is celebrating its 50th anniversary and the milestone of 800 open hotels with the launch of its first major event of the year — the 2025 IHG Greater China Expo. Held in Shenzhen, Beijing and Shanghai, the expo underscores IHG's commitment to empowering business travel through collaboration, digital transformation and industry growth.

As one of IHG's flagship corporate events, the expo highlights the group's commercial strategy and innovation while fostering integration across the business travel ecosystem. With a focus on digital solutions, IHG aims to streamline booking and management processes to enhance efficiency.

Key events such as the IHG Spring Sales Blitz and the 2025 Greater China Commercial Leaders Workshop provide industry insights and opportunities for business growth. The expo also strengthens media engagement, reinforcing its position as a premier industry event and a vital platform for collaboration.

This year's expo centers on four key themes: forging new partnerships, integrating resources, sharing market insights, and showcasing IHG's diverse brand portfolio. Featured solutions include the IHG Meeting mini-program, IHG Business Edge, and the IHG Corporate Travel Portal WeChat mini-program, all designed to simplify and optimize corporate travel experiences.

Looking ahead, IHG remains committed to shaping the future of business travel. Rita Jiang, chief commercial & marketing officer, IHG Greater China, said: "This expo serves not only as a platform to showcase our achievements, innovations and future strategies, but also as a unique opportunity to collaborate with corporate clients, partners and industry media.

"Together, we can explore what's next for business travel and drive high-quality industry development. We look forward to working with our partners to find innovative solutions and accelerate the transformation of the business travel ecosystem."
