The expected pleasing news came from Xiamen Stone Fair, which could not be held in 2020 due to the pandemic and was closed to international exhibitors and visitors in 2021 and 2022 due to Covid 19 restrictions. The decision of the Chinese government to remove the quarantine requirement at the entrance to the country also mobilized the fair company. According to the official statement made by the fair management, Xiamen Stone Fair will be held on June 5-8, 2023, open to international exhibitors and visitors. Thus, the world natural stone industry will come together again in Xiamen after a 3-year hiatus.
