The trade show Prowinter, dedicated to ski rentals and related services, achieved a record of more than 6,000 attendees. This figure is for Prowinter alone, not including the visitors to Alpitec, the show for investors in ski resorts that ran simultaneously on the fairground of Fiera Bolzano/Messe Bozen. Altogether 234 exhibitors welcomed buyers at Prowinter on April 17-19. According to a survey conducted on behalf of the organizers, 23.4 percent of Prowinter's visitors work in the rental and service sector, 11.2 percent for ski and snowboard schools, and 18.1 percent for related clubs, while 16.3 percent came from the sporting goods retail sector. The next edition of Prowinter will take place on April 9-11, 2014, simultaneously with the Alpitec show.
