Fewer visitors from abroad

Ambiente came to the end of its five-day run in Frankfurt on 17 February. Present at the world’s biggest consumer goods fair were 4 466 exhibitors from 86 countries plus 135 000 trade visitors. While the number of domestic visitors was around eight per cent above the previous year’s level, registration figures show fewer foreign visitors, especially from Britain, Spain, Russia, Japan and the USA. The next Ambiente will be held in Frankfurt from 12 – 16 February 2010.
