Through Stories International, furniture tourism transcends conventional showroom shopping by providing an end-to-end concierge experience, from itinerary planning and factory access to quality control, white-glove shipping, and seamless customs management. 

Why Indian hotels are sourcing furniture from China now

In Q2 2026, India’s hotel pipeline included 1,033 projects and 137,601 rooms, a 39% year-over-year increase in rooms, according to Lodging Econometrics. While developers in the country’s “secondary” markets, including Jaipur, Goa, Lucknow, and Amritsar, are signing the most new hotel deals, they need a branded hotel experience at a mid-scale price point, with a set opening date.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a furniture tour?

A furniture tour is a guided buying trip to furniture factories and markets, usually in Foshan, China, where you choose furniture in person and order directly from manufacturers. A local team arranges transport, translation, factory visits and price negotiation, and then manages production, shipping and delivery.

How many days do I need for a furniture tour?

Most buyers need 4 days in Foshan: one for premium malls, one for comparing prices, one for factory visits and one for negotiating and confirming orders. Smaller homes can manage in 3 days; hotels and large projects may need 5 days or a second visit.

Where in China do furniture tours go?

Most furniture tours go to Foshan in Guangdong province, about an hour from Guangzhou airport. Lecong town has the furniture malls, including the Louvre International Furniture Exhibition Center, and neighbouring Longjiang town has more than 20,000 furniture factories.

Do I need BIS certification for furniture I buy on a furniture tour?

Yes, for imported chairs and stools, work chairs, tables and desks, storage units, beds and bunk beds. Under the Furniture (Quality Control) Order, mandatory since 13 February 2026, the factory must hold a BIS licence. We check this before you place an order.

When is the best time for a furniture tour?

Any time except around Chinese New Year (late January to February), when most factories and malls close. Many buyers time their trip with the Canton Fair or CIFF in Guangzhou to see new collections.
