The economic impact of exhibitions

Exhibitions are a powerful, flexible and highly cost-effective business tool – as well as being significant wealth generators in their own right.

In established economies they are a vital part of the marketing structure, alongside direct selling, advertising, direct mail, promotions and the Internet. In new and emerging markets they are a direct catalyst for business development: Boosting regional and national business, by providing a shop window for goods.
