Apartment preview
 
* On the 24th May, The Apartment Service was present as an exhibitor at the inaugural Totally Expat Show in the Marriott Grosvenor Square in London. Although it was a very small show, compared to other shows we have been present, we have managed to see a large number of different people interested in serviced apartments and we have also been able to re-establish contact with a lot of existing and old clients and suppliers. All in all it was a very good show and we hope we can be there again the next time.
 
* The Global Serviced Apartment Industry Report 2010 can still be read on our website, or a hard copy can be ordered by sending us an email.
 
* Our blog is open to all to comment on articles already posted and to engage in the discussion about the serviced apartment industry worldwide.
 
* The Apartment Service is exhibiting at the Business Travel Market on the 16th and 17th June in Excel Exhibition Center in London. You can find us at Stand 345 and we invite you to come and see us there to discuss your temporary serviced accommodation requirements and pick up your free copy of the Global Serviced Apartment Industry Report.

Shanghai, Hu for short, 
 
 
CITY FOCUS - SHANGHAI
 
Shanghai is the second largest city in China with just over 19 million inhabitants. (Compared to Beijing, the capital with just over 22 million people). The city was originally a fishing and textiles town and is situated at the mouth of the river Yangtze on the East coast of mainland China.
 
Due to its favourable port location, which enabled easy trade between East and West, the city grew in importance in the 19th century and as a result became an international hub for business and finance by the 1930ґs.
 
 
After 1990 the then Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping introduced economic reforms which enabled intense redevelopment and financing in Shanghai. In 2005 the metropolis became the largest cargo port in the world. Shanghai is the most important and largest centre for commerce in finance in mainland China.
 
In 2010 the eyes of the world are on Shanghai because the World Expo takes place there until October.
 
The Apartment Service offers a wide selection of serviced apartments in Shanghai, including from well-known operators such as Oakwood, Fraser Hospitality and Citadines. The apartments can be booked for any length of stay at very competitive prices. Just visit http://www.apartmentservice.com/search/destination/shanghai to book your apartment when visiting Shanghai next.
