HOSTEC-EURHOTEC Amsterdam 2005 Cancelled |
|
Exhibitor Support Below Expectations |
Accuvia, the International Hotel & Restaurant Association (“IH&RA”) and Amsterdam RAI jointly announced today that HOSTEC-EURHOTEC AMSTERDAM 2005 to be held alongside of the Horecava show, has been cancelled due to weaker than expected Exhibitor support.
HOSTEC-EURHOTEC AMSTERDAM 2005 @ Horecava was launched as a separate, but sister event alongside Horecava at the same location. HOSTEC-EURHOTEC AMSTERDAM focused on the international hospitality technology audience, while technology suppliers focused primarily in the Benelux Region were exhibiting at Horecava’s main exhibition hall next door. “Unfortunately, this is clearly a situation where dividing is not conquering,” said Robert Grimes the Chairman and CEO of Accuvia. He further added; “if the exhibitors of both events were to have been combined under one technology area, this would have provided a very strong HOSTEC-EURHOTEC AMSTERDAM exhibitor base. Susanna Goossens-Hylkema the Event Director for Horecava remarked; “we are sorry to see that the HOSTEC-EURHOTEC AMSTERDAM 2005 concept has not worked out as we originally envisioned. We all felt that we could not guarantee a high quality event mainly because exhibitors stayed behind.”
