Within the first four days, the fairs were attended by 95 000 visitors. Based on a survey, most of them were interested in the trefoil of the TECHAGRO, ANIMAL VETEX, SILVA REGINA Fairs and the World Exhibition of Hunting Development, 6 % came to the International Exhibition of Fishing Tackle FISHING. The number of visitors to the agricultural fairs will probably surpass on Thursday, for the first time in the history, 100 000 (in 2008 the number of visitors was 93 000, two years earlier 78 000). The Brno agricultural, breeding and forestry show belongs to the largest of its nature in Europe.

The occupied exhibition space exceeded 64 000 m2, similarly to two years ago. In spite of a difficult economic situation, a number of firms did not only present their products, but also concluded contracts directly in the place. In addition to Czech farmers and foresters, exhibitors also discussed with foreign customers who came to Brno from 36 countries (4 000). Organized excursions of professionals arrived e.g. from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, Ukraine, Croatia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary or Austria.

With the past tourism focus having been on the Leisure and Business sectors, the introduction of the Sports and Events Tourism Exchange (SETE) Exhibition and Conference is an integral part of promoting the new “sports” trend within the industry. We see SETE 2011 becoming the inaugural, and thereafter, the annual Sports and Events Tourism gathering to attend in Africa. Sports and Events Tourism Exchange will provide a platform to: - Pursue bidding and hosting of major international events - Promote South Africa as a training destination for northern hemisphere athletes   in their winter months - Promote South Africa as a destination for social participants in sport, exploiting   our golf courses, beaches, stadiums and hiking trails. - Increase Tourist volumes, spend and length of stay - Promote transformation - Promote local federations and associations - Showcase South Africa’s experience and expertise in hosting and managing large   international events.
