One of China's most popular business events will take place in a few days when the Canton Fair opens on Oct 15 and attracts thousands of businessmen from all over the world. The city is readying itself to host these travelers, and so is The Ritz-Carlton Guangzhou.

The luxury brand's Guangzhou hotel became a luxurious "home" for more than 7,000 international business travelers during the fair's autumn session last year, according to Andrew Rogers, its general manager.
