The country situated in the western Balkan Peninsula of Europe. The population of Bosnia and Herzegovina belongs to one of its three local constituent peoples: Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a middle-income country. The logistics network is provided by land and air transport (Sarajevo International Airport -SJJ). Road infrastructure is unfortunately not good, some roads are still under construction. If you plan to travel by car, you should be aware of that navigation programmes are not efficient. The cuisine is variated with delicious pastries. Hotel options are a lot but for business travels at least 4 star hotels will be better choices. Business culture is not so formal, Bosnians accept you when you drop in a company without an appointment.

It is one of the biggest event for automotive industry in the world that takes place in Sao Paulo biennially. The fair is very crowded and most of the visitors are from USA and Latin countries. Exhibitors present the spare parts for light, heavy and commercial vehicles of global brands. The automotive companies that seek a way to enter Latin America market, should exhibit in this fair.

As the southernmost country in the world, Chile has been one of Latin America's fastest-growing economies in recent decades. However, more than 30% of the population is economically vulnerable and income inequality remains high. The country is stable when it comes to financial, social, economic and political stability. Santiago as capital city is the business center. Door to door logistics service is availabe. Chilean business culture is more formal than other Latin countries. You should make an appointment before visit. Private business working hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Colombia is my favorite among the Latin countries. I liken the people of this country to the people of Izmir- Turkiye. Colombians are friendly and helpful, making business connection is easy. However, Colombia has a very high crime rate, you should be careful against robbery even travelling in a taxi. Colombia faces high levels of income inequality and poverty, both of which are largely driven by unemployment and informality. Colombia’s main imports are machinery and transport equipments. Most of automotive companies are in Cundinamarca in Bogota. Colombia has the second-highest level of biodiversity in the world. You can taste the most delicious coffee of the world here. 

As a member of the European Union, the economy of the Czech Republic is a developed export-oriented social market economy. The largest trading partner for both export and import is Germany. Beside, many Czech companies have offices in Slovakia. Renting a car for business visits are necessary due to the fact that companies are in different addresses and zones. Highways are very convenient. Contacting to businesspeople by e-mail is possible but visiting will make a difference against competitors.

This fair is Asia's largest trade fair for automotive parts, accessories, equipment and services. Visitors are from all over the world. At least once, an automotive company should exhibit in this fair to get international buyer and seller contacts. Despite the crowd, it is possible to reach the fairground by metro or taxi. Hotels nearby the fairground might be a choice but better choice will be a hotel in Huangpu region.
