Vicenza, 19/9/07 – Vicenzaoro Autumn exceeded expectations and closed positively: the percentage growth over the same show in 2006 in the operators who came to Viale dell’Oreficeria in recent days was 13.5%. The Italian operators numbered 10,544 (+8.14%) and the foreigners 5,587. The latter came from 102 countries and recorded a 25.1% increase compared with last year. At the top places of operators were Spain, Germany, Greece, Belgium and France. The Fair President, Dino Menarin, described these figures as "an encouraging signal for Vicenza Fair’s new course and a stimulus for continuing to improve the quality of our services and our commercial proposals. Such a brilliant result includes the first signs of market recovery which I had already sensed and have been indicating for several months, as well as the massive promotional initiatives to confirm our position, among which I would like to mention shows, conventions and new electronic accesses”.
