EIBTM 2007 Experiences Further Business Growth

Building on the record attendance at EIBTM 2006 a large number of returning exhibitors have reconfirmed their attendance and have increased their stand space for this year’s event. The Fira Gran Via venue in Barcelona, Spain will be home to EIBTM from November 27 to 29.

Companies such as Starwood, Leading Hotels of the World, Kuoni Destination Management, Turespana, Austria, The Netherlands, Thailand and Mexico were some of the first to confirm their participation at EIBTM 2007.

Already contracted onto larger stands are Argentina, Sweden, the city of Vilnius and Intercontinental Hotel Group. Chile has increased its stand size by 150 percent due to the full participation of Chile Tourism returning to EIBTM this year and the Dominican Republic Tourist Office have just confirmed a 25 percent stand size increase.

EIBTM also welcomes Adventure Myanmar, the first ever exhibitor representing this emerging Asian destination along with Munich and Marketing Birmingham, both exhibiting as main stand holders for the first time. Hyatt Hotels and Resorts are also returning back this year with a space twice the size of their participation at any previous EIBTM.

Reflecting the increasing demand for stand space and year-on-year growth of the MPI Technology Village at EIBTM and Events Services Village, these specialist exhibitor areas, have been relocated alongside the new Mediterranean area.
