Messe Frankfurt touts high vaccination rate among visitors.

 

Organisers of Paperworld, the world’s largest stationery exhibition, have confirmed that more than 500 exhibitors from 45 countries have signed up to next year’s event to be held in Frankfurt, Germany, from 29 January to 1 February.

 

Messe Frankfurt’s Phillipp Ferger said the number of exhibitors represented around 65 per cent of the previous participation level.

 

According to Ferger, the majority of exhibitors and visitors from the top 10 visitor countries, such as Italy, France, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Spain, Poland, the US, and Greece, have already been fully vaccinated with the vaccines approved in the EU. The same applies to B2B customers from the top 50 visitor countries. 

 

"We are very pleased that the intensive contacts of our local representatives all over the world confirm that we can assume a stable, high vaccination rate among our customers. This means that the requirements for flights and visas can be met. We are convinced that safe and successful trade fairs are not only possible under the given circumstances, but also extremely important for trade to pick up again worldwide," Ferger added.
