Eurozone Woes Impact Heimtextil Attendance

摘要

The number of visitors to this month's Heimtextil trade fair here fell 5% to 70,000, according to the Society for the Voluntary Control of Fair and Exhibition Statistics, which audits attendance. "The decline is primarily due to a fall in numbers from those European nations that have been particularly hard hit by the debt crisis, especially Italy, Spain, Greece, France and The Netherlands," explained Detlef Braun, member of show organizer Messe Frankfurt's executive board.
