More visitors attracted to consumer goods fairs

The consumer goods fairs staged in Frankfurt, Germany, over recent weeks have been marked by an appreciable increase in attendance figures. The Christmasworld event held in late January attracted 31 500 visitors, or 4.4 per cent more than one year previously. A total of 144 000 visitors attended Ambiente in mid-February, a figure that is nearly ten per cent higher than last year’s result. Around half of the visitors to each of the fairs came from abroad.
