At the Brno construction fair, 8,000 fewer people attended

Brno - This year's construction fairs, which ended today in Brno, were visited by over 43,000 visitors. This is 8,000 fewer than last year, when the event lasted five days, while this year it was one day shorter. The organizers, Veletrhy Brno, are satisfied with the number of visitors and anticipate that construction will bounce back this year, with interest increasing next year. This was stated in a press release by the general director of Veletrhy Brno, Jiří Kuliš.
    Alongside the IBF construction fair, there was the Wood and Buildings fair, which showcased the growing construction sector, as interest in timber houses for families is increasing. The two main events were traditionally complemented by presentations of innovations in furniture and interior design. Visitors could explore 706 exhibits from exhibitors from 20 countries.
    The government aims to halt the recession in the construction sector, which has persisted since the onset of the economic crisis in 2008, by supporting investments in linear constructions, primarily transport infrastructure, which it believes have been insufficient in recent years. Whether the revival signaled by the first months of this year is merely a result of favorable weather or truly marks the end of a six-year decline will be revealed in the coming months.
    The construction fairs are among the most visited events at the Brno exhibition center and complemented a successful first quarter. The most successful event this year was the Techagro agricultural technology fair, which drew a record 120,000 visitors.
