This outstanding year is marked by a record-breaking number of international participation. With more than 20% increase in overseas exhibitor numbers, THAIFEX-World of Food Asia once again reinforces its position as one of the most important food and hospitality trade fairs in Asia.
Since it was officially launched in 2004, THAIFEX–World of Food Asia has reached many milestones in the past decade. One of the major achievements is the increased scale of the show. This year, the number of exhibitors continued to increase by almost 10% and trade visitor numbers by 11%. In total, the show welcomed 1,463 exhibitors and 30,479 trade visitors, with 24,138 local visitors and 6,341 coming from overseas.
Michael Dreyer, Vice President, Asia Pacific, Koelnmesse said, “The 10th anniversary of THAIFEX–World of Food Asia, marks a milestone. It is a bigger, better and ever more international edition. We believe the next decade will bring a more outstanding growth not just in the scale of our show, but also in quantitative and qualitative volume. The 11% increase in our trade visitor attendance has proven our stance as a business-driven trade show, despite the challenging political situation right from the start of our show until the closing day.”
