IMEX Wild Card entries reflect market growth
The continued rise of eastern European destinations within the
international meetings industry is confirmed once again with the
announcement that Torun (Poland) is among the winners of the 2008
IMEX Wild Card programme.
A second, free exhibition place has also been awarded to the republic
of Armenia. Two further Wild Card places have also been awarded
specifically to new German exhibitors - Holstein Eventmarketing and
Marketingkooperation Städte Schleswig-Holstein.
The IMEX Wild Card programme offers aspiring entrants into the
international meetings market the chance to exhibit free of charge
alongside established destinations and other participants. To qualify
for the scheme, entrants must not have exhibited at a major
international fair before, although they must have sufficient
infrastructure and skill to support their ambitions to enter the
meetings or incentive travel market.
Torun, Poland, which welcomes one million tourists each year, can
currently host events for up to 1000 delegates and has a growing
reputation as a centre for science, medicine and new technology.
Formerly part of the Soviet Union, Armenia is now an independent
country and a new destination for meetings and incentive travel
buyers. Armenian Event, the events department of Aquarius Travel,
claims it has a good infrastructure that almost matches European
standards.
Holstein Eventmarketing specialises in planning conferences or
incentives for smaller groups. Marketingkooperation Städte in
Schleswig-Holstein has been honoured several times in various local
business awards and its team is passionate about sustaining and
developing a strong meetings industry within the state.
