The German Convention Bureau (GCB) has no plans to market the country's meeting venues to China.

This is in spite of the German National Tourist Board's (GNTO) plan to open an information centre in Beijing.

"We are not targeting Asia at the moment, even though we are represented in the region through the GNTO," GCB managing director Mr Karl-Heinz Richter said.

"When there is an interest in Germany as a destination we will target the market."
