A total of 890 exhibitors – up by 3 percent compared with the previous year – welcomed 21,520 trade visitors at the OutDoor show held in Friedrichshafen a few days ago. The attendance figure, which accounts for visits per day, was up by 5 percent compared with 2010.
The share of non-German visitors was high at 59 percent, naturally including a good share of retailers from neighboring Austria and Switzerland. The organizers noted a strong increase in visitors from the Far East and North America. The 19th OutDoor show will be held on July 12-15 next year (more in The Outdoor Industry Compass, which also featured a breakdown of visitors by country of origin).
