“With a large contingent of exhibitors from Asia, as well as many trade buyers from across ASEAN facing travel restrictions, we have taken the difficult but pragmatic decision to defer the three fairs to 2021, when international participants can plan their travel arrangements with confidence,” explained Mr Hubert Duh, Managing Director, Messe Frankfurt New Era Business Media Ltd.
Mr Duh added: “The decision also takes into account the sourcing expectations of local trade buyers, many of whom visit the fairs to connect with high quality international exhibitors. By deferring the three events to 2021, we can deliver the comprehensive sourcing platform that buyers expect, at a time when the business environment will be on a more positive trajectory.”
