Italian exhibition group launches key words for the 2020 tourism industry

April 15, 2019 by Forimmediaterelease

Active food and wine tourism, the quality of life, the search for beauty and creativity: the combination of ingredients on which tourists increasingly base their choice of vacation will be at the center of the 2019 expo showcase of TTG Experience, SIA Hospitality Design e SUN Beach&Outdoor Style, the three leading expos dedicated to the tourism chain – respectively focused on vacations, the hospitality sector and that of outdoors and beaches – organized by Italian Exhibition Group, being held from Wednesday 9th to Friday 11th October 2019 at Rimini Expo Centre.

The tourist flow scene confirms positive signs from Italy: in the first eleven months of 2018, with 208.5 million nights’ stay by foreign tourists in accommodation facilities (+1.8%), Italy is in second place in Europe, ahead of France (134.7 nights, +5.7%) and behind Spain (287.8 million, -1.6%). In this context, the three expos, with an unequalled offer for the expo sector, will respond precisely to the tourist trade’s requirements.

TTG Travel Experience

The 56th edition of TTG, is a national and international reference point for the Italian offer for tourists and Italian tourism abroad. The most important B2B tourist expo and the one most attended by tourism professionals will host 130 destinations, in a layout divided into three areas – The World, Global Village and Italy – conceived to highlight all the latest in vacation products.

TTG Travel Experience 2019, with two special projects, will intercept the trends that increasingly influence tourists’ choice of destination: the interest in wine and food and that for active vacations.

223 million euros were spent in 2017 by foreign visitors to Italy on food and wine, 70% more than spending in 2013. With the Eatxperience project at TTG Travel Experience 2019, an entire hall will be dedicated to food and wine tourism with a format conceived precisely for trade members: food service in hotels is also among the opportunities to include in travel proposals.

On the other hand, with a high visual impact, the special Be Active project will feature proposals, opportunities and trends for vacations in Italy, where in 2016 18.6% of the tourists indicated sport as the motivation for their vacation.

SIA Hospitality Design

The expo that is a national reference point for the hospitality sector, SIA Hospitality Design, at its 68th edition, boosts its format linked with design and Italian-made products, addressing three issues that are particularly topical for the hospitality sector: Design (design for hospitality will not only be the first focus of SIA, but also the leitmotif of the entire expo); Water: (bathrooms, wellness and swimming pools, as well as services, technology, products, cosmetics and wellness treatment); Taste (the most important food service moments for accommodation facilities: breakfasts and aperitifs). Each project will have a dedicated arena involving professionals, an exhibition and expo areas.

Sun Beach & Outdoor Style

For decades, the b2b expo that is a reference point for the outdoor, beach facility and campsite worlds, SUN Beach&Outdoor Style, at its 37th edition, has focused on two macro sectors: the beach facility world and the campsite and village show world.

Contests are confirmed, in collaboration with Mondo Balneare, Best Beach Bar, Best Design Beach and Best Italian Beach, to award prizes respectively to the best beach facilities from the point of view of food & beverage, architecture and tradition. All the new products and services on the start-up front will be featured at SUNNext, the space dedicated to innovation, in collaboration with Mondo Balneare and CNA Emila-Romagna.

Lufthansa launches seven new European destinations from Munich

March 20, 2019 by Forimmediaterelease

During this year´s summer flight schedule Lufthansa launches seven new destinations in Germany and Europe. There are several weekly flights to Strasbourg and Rostock for the first time, and the offer is being extended to Spain, France, Italy and Croatia. “The summer timetable offers business travellers important connections via Munich to the rest of the world. Holidaymakers can also look forward to attractive new holiday destinations, especially around the Mediterranean,” says Wilken Bormann, Lufthansa CEO Hub Munich. Lufthansa is flying from Munich to 140 destinations in 46 countries this summer. These include 113 destinations in Germany and Europe that can be reached non-stop from the southern Lufthansa hub.

On April 9, Lufthansa will be taking off from Munich to Strasbourg for the first time. As the seat of the European Parliament, the city in Alsace is an important business destination. But Strasbourg is also interesting for short-term holidaymakers: The old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Bombardier CRJ900 brings passengers to Strasbourg five times a week, offering an optimal option for business and leisure travelers.

Alicante is on the Munich flight plan for the first time on April 12. An Airbus A320 will fly to the port city on the Costa Blanca three times a week.

Until now, Tivat has been considered a little-known holiday destination. Now, a less than two-hour flight links the city in Montenegro to Munich. Steeped in history, Tivat is located near the Bay of Kotor and, with its historical settlements by the fjord-like bay, is a UNESCO World and Natural Heritage Site. From April 13, Lufthansa will be taking off in an Airbus A319 to Montenegro every Saturday.

After a long break, Rostock/Laage is back on the Lufthansa flight schedule. From May 1, the CRJ900 will be flying from Munich twice a day and on every Sunday afternoon. Transfer passengers have optimal connections to the worldwide Lufthansa network in Munich.

Also new in the timetable is Biarritz. The seaside resort on the French Atlantic coast will be served every Saturday from May 25 with a Bombardier CRJ900. The legendary holiday destination offers long sandy beaches and is an Eldorado for surfers.

For the first time, northern Croatia is just an hour’s flight away from Munich: Rijeka is the name of the new Lufthansa destination, which is considered the gateway to the Croatian islands. On Saturdays, also from May 25, a Bombardier CRJ900 will fly to the Kvarner Gulf region.

Tourists can now also reach Rimini on the Italian Adriatic coast directly from Munich with Lufthansa. A CRJ900 will touchdown at the popular holiday destination every Sunday from May 26.

INTERNATIONAL HORECA MEETING: EVERYTHING’S READY FOR THE RIMINI “DEBUT”

January 30, 2019 by Newswire

There’s less than a month to go until the appointment with the new hub of the beverage and Ho.Re.Ca. sector being held at Rimini expo centre from 16th to 19th February 2019.

In fact, simultaneously with Beer Attraction, Food Attraction and BB Tech Expo, Italgrob’s International Horeca Meeting, the Italian food event, is arriving on the Riviera. All the food & beverage product chain’s sectors are thus to be found, from leading brands to craft breweries.

Precisely the interaction with Italian Exhibition Group, according to Italgrob president Vincenzo Caso, “will be an extraordinary opportunity for meeting and analysing the most urgent questions, those most felt by trade members: a valuable opportunity for meeting colleagues from all over Italy, networking, and communicating the respective knowledge and experience.”

The hottest issues for the sector with market analyses and studies on the evolution of Horeca consumption will be at the core of the opening conference on Saturday 16th February in the Neri Room, with important managers and representatives of Italy’s foodservice. Numerous in-depth events will be held in the Horeca Arena, the space set up in the heart of Rimini expo centre, right under the south foyer’s cupola. There will be discussions on the ethical role of industry and distributors, taxes on sugar orientation on packaging, as well as training, with the conference on Sunday 17th February with the students and lecturers at the master’s degree in Trade Management of foodservice, organized by the Luiss Business School, with the support of the AFDB, Associazione per la Formazione nel Beverage (association for beverage training).

Two sessions are scheduled: one on mineral water and problems linked with network treatment, the product’s evolution, the numerous innovations on the market and a focus on a rapidly growing phenomenon such as food delivery.

A totally new feature of the 2019 edition is the fact of opening up to also include venue owners and managers. Distributors will thus be able to invite their clients to take part in the training sessions. On Monday and Tuesday, in the Horeca Arena, Planetone, with Marco Ranocchia, will explain how staff preparation and expertise are decisive factors for competing on the present-day market.

Also on Monday, there will be “beerful” session, with Silvana Giordano of Unibirra. The session will be organized in collaboration with ADHOR (the association of Horeca ladies) which on this occasion will distribute a recipe book of beer-based dishes entitled “La Birra nel Piatto”. “This initiative”, states Paola Giacchero, chair of the ADHOR, “aims at increasing beer culture in our sector, an objective that the ADHOR believes strongly in and to which it already contributed several years ago, with a handbook on how to pull a perfect beer.”

On Tuesday, Giuliano Lanzetti of “Pienissimo” will explain how to optimize venue management and increase business: the appointment is at 11 am, and “Metti il turbo al tuo locale”, (Fit your venue with a turbo) the title of the conference. The same session’s program also include the awards ceremony of the historic “beer academies”, organized by Il Mondo della Birra magazine.

ITALIAN EXHIBITION GROUP STRENGTHENS ITS GROWTH AS AT 30 SEPTEMBER 2018

December 7, 2018 by Newswire

A consolidated revenue of 111.8 million euros (91.7 million as at 30th September 2017), EBITDA of 22.3 million euros and EBIT of 14.2 million (respectively 16.5 million and 9.4 million as at 30th September 2017)

 

Rimini, 7th December 2018 – At the press conference today, Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) communicated its results as at 30th September 2018.

The figures, regarding the Group’s consolidated financial statement, show a total revenue of 111.8 million euros, an increase of 22% on the same period of the previous year (91.7 million as at 30th September 2017).

The operating results were also positive and, as far as EBITDA1 is concerned, show a value of 22.3 million euros (compared to the 16.5 million at the end of Q3 2017), while at EBIT level they stand at 14.2 million (compared to 9.4 million as at 30th September of the previous year).

The comparison with the figures of the previous year must take into consideration some changes in the corporate structure (in March 2018, FB International Inc. became part of the IEG group, as did Prostand and Colorcom from September 2018, all companies trading in the stand fitting sector) and the absence, in 2018, of two important expos which were held in the first half of 2017 (A.B. Tech Expo in Rimini, held every three years, and Koinè in Vicenza, held every two) and, on the other hand, the presence in the third quarter of 2018 of the biennial Tecnargilla expo.

 

On the basis of the results achieved and forecasts regarding activities scheduled for coming weeks, the Company’s management confirms its forecast of fully achieving the growth and profitability targets foreseen by the budget of the current year.

 

IEG: FOCUS ON

The Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) is the Italian leader for number of trade expos organized and one of the main players in Europe in the expo and conference sector, with its venues in Rimini and Vicenza. The IEG Group stands out for the organization of events in five categories: Food & Beverage; Jewellery & Fashion; Tourism, Hospitality & Lifestyle; Wellness & Leisure; Green & Technology. In recent years, IEG has launched an important process of foreign expansion, also by means of joint ventures inked with local players (e.g. in the United States, Arab Emirates and China). IEG ended the 2017 financial year with a total consolidated turnover of 130.7 million euros, an EBITDA of 23.2 million and a net consolidated profit of 9.2 million euros. In 2017, in its expo and conference venues in Rimini and Vicenza, IEG hosted an overall total of 50 expos and 206 conferences. www.iegexpo.it

 

1 EBITDA is represented by the operating results (earnings) before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is an indicator defined and used by the Group to monitor and assess the Group’s operating performance, but is not defined in this context by the IFRS; so it must not be considered as an alternative indicator for the assessment of the performance of the Group’s operating result. The company considers the EBITDA to be an important parameter for assessment of the Group’s performance, as it enables to analyze its marginality, eliminating the effects due to non-recurrent economic elements. Since the EBITDA is not an indicator whose determination is regulated by the reference accounting standards for drawing up the Group’s consolidated financial statement, the criterion applied for the calculation of the EBITDA might not be homogeneous with that adopted by other groups, so might therefore not be comparable.
