The app was easy to use and a dedicated space for the meetings meant I was able to discuss undisturbed, it led to some good business. Another excellent feature at Chocoa!

The Indian trade show industry holds many events dedicated to various aspects of the food and agricultural industry and is considered one of the best platforms to attract local buyers to foreign products. THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY General Information Trade shows in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka serve as an ideal platform for U.S. businesses seeking to identify a trusted buyer, introduce a new product, or obtain more information on the local market. These shows help foreign exporters get a feel of the local market and design their strategies for introducing new/existing products to local buyers. India has long held trade shows focused on agricultural technology/inputs that attract hundreds or thousands of farmers. However, over the past few years, several shows have attracted numerous international exporters, local importers, and domestic manufacturers. An increasing number of Indian importers, retailers and key decision makers are traveling to international trade shows such as Gulfood, Anuga, SIAL Paris, and Food & Hotel Asia Singapore.

This publication is an open access article. businessperspectives.org 152 Problems and Perspectives in Management, 4/2004 An Analysis Model for Performance Measurement of Inter- national Trade Fair Exhibitors1 F.H. Rolf Seringhaus2, Philip Rosson3 Abstract The paper contributes a multidimensional analysis model to the issue of performance meas- urement of International trade fair exhibitors. First, it proposes an integrated trade fair performance evaluation model. The model incorporates the process of firm activities, from before to after the fair. A performance measurement construct is developed that employs quantitative and qualitative vari- ables, and includes immediate and delayed measures of exhibitor performance, thereby recognizing the importance of the trade fair management process. Second, the paper examines the relationship between firm activities and trade fair performance levels to demonstrate that multiple measures pro- vide valuable insight into the trade fair exhibiting process. The analysis model is applied to a data set from a Canadian study of 303 firms exhibiting at international trade fairs. Introduction Trade fair performance measurement has been fragmented and haphazard and, as trade fairs have come under increased scrutiny by researchers in recent years, more attention is warranted (given the substantial budget allocations companies make to these marketing activities) to redress this short- coming in analysis methodology.

  • Why Did Modern Trade Fairs Appear?
    Why Did Modern Trade Fairs Appear? Albert Carreras1 and Lídia Torra2 Universitat Pompeu Fabra According to our interpretation, modern trade fairs started in Europe during the First World War and in its immediate aftermath. With the closing of trade movements during the war, many cities had to resort to the old medieval tradition of providing especial permits to traders to guarantee them personal protection during their trade meetings. During the tough post war crisis many more cities –typically industrial districts- discovered in the creation of trade fairs a powerful competitive tool to attract market transactions. We compare these developments with the remote origins of fairs, as, in both cases, trade fair development is a reaction to the closing of free markets under the pressure of political violence. Keywords: Trade fairs, Modern trade fairs, Markets, Industrial districts, International trade, First World War. JEL codes: N44, N74, N84 I. Introduction Why do trade fairs exist? When did they start? Do they matter at all? These very simple questions do not have obvious answers. At least, we have not been able to find them in the literature. To be more exact: we have not been satisfied with the answers we have found. The very few hints available, mainly in locally centred publications, suggest some continuity with traditional fairs and a lot of influence of the Universal Exhibitions. In this paper we will present our interpretation of the origins of the modern trade fairs.3 As a general movement, they started in Europe during the First World War and its immediate aftermath. There are precedents –the Leipzig trade fair is the most important, although there are others, related to the increased diffusion of the world fairs, but it is unlikely that the modern trade fairs started at that time without the impact of the First World War.

  • Measurement of Service Quality in Trade Fair Organization
    sustainability Article Measurement of Service Quality in Trade Fair Organization José Felipe Jiménez-Guerrero *, Jerónimo de Burgos-Jiménez and Jorge Tarifa-Fernández Department of Economics and Business, Mediterranean Research Center on Economics and Sustainable Development (CIMEDES), Agrifood Campus of International Excellence, CeiA3, University of Almería, 04120-Almería, Spain; [email protected] (J.d.B.-J.); [email protected] (J.T.-F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-950-015441 Received: 15 October 2020; Accepted: 16 November 2020; Published: 17 November 2020 Abstract: The success of a trade fair depends on the close collaboration between organizers and exhibitors with potential visitors. While the literature has invested a great deal of interest in the role of the exhibitor and, to a lesser extent, to the visitor, scarce attention has been paid to the vital role played by the fair organizer. The present work analyzes the latter and their importance to the success of a trade fair, which is measured by the quality of the services offered to exhibitors. Using a sample of exhibitors at an International Spanish trade fair, regression analysis is used to examine, at the exploratory level, some quality aspects linked to organizers that can affect the fulfillment of objectives established by exhibitors prior to attending a fair. The results obtained reveal that two dimensions of quality linked to the organizer (event design and quality of results) highly correlate with the final perceptions of exhibitors, and that their deficient quality level prevents the exhibitors from reaching their fair goals. Keywords: trade fair; exhibitor; fair organizer; perceptions; service quality; satisfaction 1.
