Otdykh LEISURE Moscow 2012 Draws Bead on Latin American, Caribbean Destinations

Otdykh Leisure Moscow is a must-attend exhibition in Russia for all who want to profit from the lucrative and rapidly growing Russian outbound market. Russian travellers keep on discovering exotic and long haul destinations during long & cold Russian winters that is why demand for space at traditional September exhibition grows from year to year.

It is September when Russian tour operators sign contracts for the coming winter season and discuss winter programs with international suppliers. Otdykh LEISURE takes place parallel to LUXURY Leisure (Luxury Travel exhibition) and MIBEXPO Russia (incentives and business travel exhibition).

All three shows build Russia’s most important professional tourism event MATIW – Moscow Autumn Travel Industry Week, visited by 65 000 in 2011. Last year over 1500 companies from 80 countries exhibited on a space of 23 000sqm in International exhibition Hall Crocus Expo in Moscow, Russia.

In 2012 a great number of countries will extend space dramatically, and Latin America and the Caribbean will be represented as strong as never before.  So Dominican Republic stand will be four times as big as it was last year and promises to be one of the central attractions of the show; Mexico will double space bringing over 25 co-exhibitors.  Colombia also doubles its space, coming to the size of long term exhibitors such as Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil, Cuba and others.

The ongoing year has a very special sense for the Russian people, connected with legends of Maya and their spiritual experience. In this case the organizer of Matiw exhibitions, Euroexpo will support and afford to attract into Russian market new companies from South and North America.
