Concurrent events providing an interactive platform

With the well integrated exhibition and event platform, the visitors can learn by first-hand experience about caravanning and auto camping culture.

The 9th China Tuning Car Auto Contest is certainly one of biggest highlights of the show. It is the best platform for tuning funs to showcase their best craftsmanship and ideas. This contest has been held successfully eight times previously. This year, it will present an even more grand celebration for the industry to meet the customized needs of car owners as a professional show place for tuning cars. Changes have been made to the competition format: a new online platform for evaluation and voting was established jointly with ‘Sohu Vehicle’ to allow full interaction with the offline tuning car show, then professionals will evaluate the shortlisted and come up with the final winner. It has attracted heated participation and discussion among Internet users since launching. Media coverage was also intensive to bring up the heat. During Aug 11th to 12th, the shortlisted cars will be present on the exhibition site, with surprising presents and promotions prepared for the visitors.

Another highlight is “2012 China Caravan Figures”, which is to award the pioneering Caravan owner with an ENLIGHTENING story, and leverage the encouraging and touching stories to enhance the caravan culture in China and accelerate the market growth. The activity was first launched in June, attracting strong attention from industrial players, the media and caravan lovers. We proceeds to round-up and shortlisting in mid-July. Finally, ‘don’t turn’, a 12-members Caravan World travellers group, and Mr. Zhang Zhiwu, who only learnt how to driving in his 60s but aspired to caravan across the Eurasia continent became the final winners. They are the persons of the year and were invited to Caravan Salon Düsseldorf 2012, the world’s top class caravaning trade show; Mr. Zhang Guangzhi, who is just set out to start his RV world trip, and Mr. Wang Renhe, who was the first Chinese driving a domestic RV to Everest Base Camp were awarded in the name of ‘Characters of Hope of the year’. The celebration ceremony will be held on Aug 11th, 2012.

"China Campsite Experience Program” has been designed to promote the auto camping culture, accelerate the development and construction of Chinese campsites, and facilitate the formulation of caravan- and campsite- related regulations, policies and industry standards in China, as well as let RV owners and camping fans know more about the Chinese campsites. Along with the rapid development of economy and society in China, auto camping has also entered into Chinese people's life. Some beautiful and well-equipped campsites are growing up gradually. However, people seem to know little about these campsites and its facilities & services. As a result, ATC Show 2012 has planned this program to build a bridge between auto camping fans and the campsites, and let the RV owners have more options for their holiday. Through careful selection of excellent campsites, we will provide abundant information and great offers (with discount coupon) for the exhibitors and VIP buyers. These campsites will also introduce the detailed information at the show, as well as arrange a lot of attractive on-site activities.

The exciting Carrera Racing Game is attracting a lot of fans and visitors. The daily winner with best score will be rewarded with a Carrera Model Car, and the overall winner of three days will be rewarded with a cool Carrera Set. Other eye-catching activities include car graffiti show, tunning car culture show, driving master challenge, lucky draw, caravaning & camping salons, etc. The visitors will be amazed at the splendid and exciting experience that the show could offer.

Organized by LvsheDesign, “Jike ·Micro Utopia” were calling ideas to transform containers into a recreation vehicle since the beginning of this year, and after months of selecting, the organizer presented the final winner on the first day of ATC Show 2012 . The exhibition is regarded as the starting point for those Container-RV travellers’ trip to Shangri-La, also adding a dreaming charm to the show.

ATC Show 2012 has gained strong attention from the industry since preparation.
