METS closes 6% down, but ‘exceeded expectations’
24 Nov 2008
METS: Although the show seemed busy all the time, this year’s Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS) closed on 18,485 visitors, 6% down on last year’s record attendance of 19,764 at the 20th anniversary edition. Organiser Amsterdam RAI says the show 'closed on an unexpectedly high note'.
Irene Dros: 'exceeded expectations'
‘We are genuinely delighted by the buzz generated at this year’s METS,’ said product manager, Irene Dros. ‘METS 2008 exceeded our expectations in terms of visitor numbers which is an optimistic sign that the leisure marine industry is determined to do its very best to weather the current economic storm.’
METS 2009 will be held on 17, 18 and 19 November 2009. See the BB December issue for our METS review.
