More than 30,000 visitors and 300 exhibitors expected for the 17th iran food + hospitality 2010
The best and the largest ever: 32,838 visitors met 287 exhibitors from 13 countries at iran food + hospitality 09
The 17th International Food, Beverages & Hospitality Trade Fair, iran food + hospitality, is scheduled to take place at the Tehran International Fairgrounds on May 30 to June 02, 2010.
Providing an ideal platform for business and exchange, this leading trade show for the country’s food, beverages and hospitality industry will yet another time deliver and confirm its position as Iran’s largest and most important food and hospitality event.
To be held under the auspices of the Iranian ministry of jihad – agriculture and the ministry of industries and mines, the event is organised by Palar Samaneh, Tehran, and fairtrade of Germany.
No doubt, the Iranian food and hospitality market becomes ever more important. Exporters of foodstuffs and hospitality equipment into the Middle East during the past few years made good business in Iran, now being one of the most important markets for major international players with interest in the region.
Ever growing: with 287 exhibitors from 13 countries discussing business with a record 32,838 trade visitors, iran food + hospitality 09 was the best and the largest ever.
For 2010 again, all Iranian and many international heavy weights of the food trade as well as official participations are expected to participate at the lead fair for the Iranian food and hospitality sector.
Official and private European, Middle Eastern and Asian food associations and national organisations successfully make use of iran food+hospitality and strongly support their members to participate. Just as in 2009, when eight group pavilions had been organised.
