Guayaquil is a city of commerce, privileged by its

jor business destination for international fairs and

crease the international trade fairs such as the
International Tourism Fair (FITE). Currently, more
than 80 conventions and 18 fairs are being hosted
in the city. With new high quality and business
oriented hotels that are being built the room ca-
pacity of Guayaquil will continue to draw in more
corporations. Guayaquil has a brand new Airport,
modern bus terminal and the Convention Center.
The Simon Bolivar Convention Center is another
pillar for the success of Guayaquil as a business
destination. The Convention Center has the larg-
est infrastructure; this allows their customers to
organize all kinds of events including exhibitions,
conferences, art shows, social events, business
conferences and more. Currently, the fairs contin-
ue to increase and diversify. Almost any product
or service has a fair.

location. In the center of the world, close to the

platform in Latin America.
Guayaquil has access to every country around the
world due to its location in the Pacific. The city
is located near the Panama Canal, reaching the
Atlantic Ocean in a few days. Asian countries and
Russia, across the Pacific, want Ecuador to be the
port of entry of its products in Latin America.
