Online News--ISH Frankfurt Draws Close to 180,000 Visitors
Exhibitors from 51 countries presented their innovations at the International Trade Fair for Building and Energy Technology and The Bathroom Experience (March 25-29, 2003).
"We are more determined than ever--for us, the only way is forward." This is the optimistic way exhibitors and visitors described ISH 2003, where 2,361 exhibitors from 51 countries presented their innovations on 254,000 square metres of exhibition space at the International Trade Fair for Building and Energy Technology and The Bathroom Experience (March 25-29, 2003).
The proportion of foreign trade visitors rose from 20% to almost 25%. The number of German visitors, however, fell. Although all decision-makers attended ISH, there were fewer employees per company than in the past. Altogether, just under 180,000 trade visitors from 93 nations made their way to Frankfurt. This, the result of the difficult economic climate, is just under 8% less than at the last event.
