Trade-fair location where everything is near at hand: compact & competent
From an economic perspective, the Westfalenhallen Dortmund GmbH trade
fair is the most important subsidiary of the Westfalenhallen Dortmund
GmbH. Year after year the largest share of total turnover is generated
in the trade-fair halls on the Rheinlanddamm.
In spite of the terrific expansion in the ´80s and ´90s, the
Westfalenhallen Dortmund Trade Fair has remained a location where
everything is near at hand. Here visitors can readily gain an
impression of the trends of an entire branch in the course of a day.
The exhibitors appreciate the direct contact to the trade fair´s
management and the comprehensive services that are on offer.
About 30 trade fairs and exhibitions have established themselves in Dortmund so far:
Regional specialist trade fairs for visitors from North Rhine-Westphalia and neighbouring federal states,
- Regional specialist trade fairs for visitors from North-Rhine-Westphalia and neighbouring federal states,
- Consumer exhibitions targeted at a wide section of the local population,
- Special-interest exhibitions for hobbies and spare-time activities that attract a national and international public,
- International exhibitions intended for a cross-border specialist public.
Dortmund has become a central meeting point for numerous branches,
many of which did not previously present their products and services at
trade fairs. The time when exhibitors and visitors mainly came from
North Rhine-Westphalia is long gone. Today, the Westphalian metropolis
is the meeting point for Europe`s hunters just as it is for the world`s
model-builders and specialist tobacco-product suppliers.
An outward sign of the increased importance of the Westfalenhallen
Dortmund trade fair is its membership of the IDFA (Pool of German Trade
Fair and Exhibition Cities), the AUMA (Association of the German Trade
Fair Industry) and the FKM (Society for Voluntary Control of Fair and
Exhibition Statistics).
Regional and international at the same time – the people of Dortmund
honour the status of "their trade fair" with their attentiveness and
goodwill. In a survey of Dortmund citizens, more than half of the
respondents expressly described their city as a "trade-fair city". |
