Naturally, the whole region and its population will participate in it. Besides a great public relation value for several regions of fairgrounds there are further positive effects of the trade industry for city and countryside. Every year approximately 9 to 10 million of people visit 140 to 160 international trade fairs, thus ensuring about 250000 jobs. Half of it come under the service industry.
