Hong Kong, Apr. 28, 2009 -- Global brands Ahlens, Auchan, Coles Group, Dollar General, Li & Fung, Marks & Spencer, Monsoon Accessorize, Otto International and Sears are signed up to participate in the China Sourcing Fairs: Gifts & Premiums, Fashion Accessories and Underwear & Swimwear in Hong Kong. These are the final three shows of seven specialized events in Hong Kong which Global Sources (NASDAQ: GSOL) (http://www.globalsources.com) has organized this spring.

The shows open today and run until May 1. The three shows feature nearly 2,000 booths from 14 countries and regions. This is the first time that Global Sources has held China Sourcing Fair: Gifts & Premiums, which is due to take place four times a year in three locations -- Hong Kong, Dubai and Shanghai.

Global Sources' Executive Director, Sarah Benecke, said: "We have attracted some of the world's biggest buyers to our on-site Private Buyer Meetings and Vendor Summits. The changing economic outlook is altering global buying behavior. Buyers are looking for more valuable interactions with quality suppliers. Meeting on-site in private with suppliers they have selected before the China Sourcing Fairs facilitates this."

Benecke added: "The China Sourcing Fair: Gifts & Premiums is a further specialization of our popular Gifts & Home Products show. Buyers have less time to source, so they need to ensure that they use their time effectively. Specialized shows help our buyers to source quickly and economically."
