In an interview with Paperjam this week, Fernand Heinisch, representative of the Luxembourg Union of Travel Agencies, explained that participation in a travel fair is no longer worthwhile for exhibitors. In order to cover the entrance fees, which range from €30,000 to €150,000 for stands, an agency would have to sell a large number of package holidays.
As a result, Heinisch says it is unlikely that the annual fair would be reinstated. The “Vakanze-Foire”, which previously took place every January, was made up of 200 exhibitors and last attracted around 30,000 visitors over three days.
