CEO of Messe Düsseldorf China Tony Fung responds to concerns about Moon Day holiday during wire/Tube China 2010

During Tube Düsseldorf recently some exhibitors and visitors expressed concern about the fact that the Chinese Moon Day national holiday this year will fall on September 22, the second day of the exhibition.  Tony Fung, CEO of Messe Düsseldorf China (MDC) moved quickly to allay these concerns:

“….. the influence will be minimal..…..China has really changed a lot, business always goes first……the main celebration takes place only during the night to appreciate the moon. Our exhibition closes at 5pm; there will be sufficient time for both the exhibitor and visitor to attend parties or family gatherings. However we expect even more visitors from different parts of china to take advantage of the holiday to see the World-Expo in Shanghai and to visit the wire & Tube China 2010 in one time.”

The ITA remains confident that wire/Tube China 2010 will be a very successful and well attended event.

We remind all potential exhibitors at the exhibition about our excellent at-cost Tiger exhibition packages, details of which can be accessed here.  We also have some excellent value rooms for members at a conveniently located good hotel, subject to availability, something worth considering if intending to visit or exhibit because of pressure on hotel capacities caused by the Shanghai World Expo.
