TESTIMONIALS Pangeo tours We take part in all traveller trade fairs in the Czech Republic and we were nicely surprised by your event, although it belonged among smaller ones. Thanks to the merged exhibitions, there were a lot of visitors in site. I hope that the exhibition will be held next year again. We would like to have more space for our pictures and artefacts, but after one year. Thank you very much and I will be looking forward to our next meeting.

Mapotic Our company took part in the FOR TRAVEL Trade Fair for the first time this year and we were highly satisfied, both with the general organisation of the event and with the preparation activities before the trade fair. Within the framework of the trade fair, our presentation was carried out successfully and we were satisfied with the number of participants as well as with the general impression raised by the event. We will be glad to take part in next editions as well.

CK Adventura CK Adventura would like to use this way to express its thanks to the FOR TRAVEL Trade Fair team for their active assistance with the entry of our TATRABUS into the hall of the Exhibition Centre. Thanks to their help the visitors had an opportunity of seeing our expeditionary vehicle and trying how it is like to drive this special vehicle. We assess our participation at the trade fair in a very positive way, also thanks to connection with other trade fairs that were simultaneously underway. Unlike other travel agencies, our advantage consisted in the fact that we used just our Tatrabus for our presentation, which means that this connection was really ideal for us.

The AROUND THE WORLD Traveller Festival has been organised by Karel Wolf, traveller and photographer, for already 15 years, always twice a year in Prague and once a year in other towns (Brno, Plzeň, Olomouc). For this reason, there were more than 30 large festivals devoted to travelling and adventure in the world. But only in March 2018 did the AROUND THE WORLD Festival become a part of the FOR CARAVAN, FOR BOAT and FOR TRAVEL Trade Fairs. The unique merger of the two events was important for organisers, as well as visitors of the festival and actual trade fairs. The two-day AROUND THE WORLD Festival was visited by 2,700 people, while the number of visitors coming to the trade fairs was 27,100. The simultaneous organisation of all the events had 29,831 visitors.
