For four days, the Bernexpo exhibition halls were teeming with travel experts and vacation enthusiasts. After the 39th edition of the trade fair, 23,000 visitors and an increase in the number of exhibitors compared to the previous year to over 170 were confirmed. In retrospect, it can be said that the result and overall impression are positive - evidenced by the high quality of visitors and the increase in exhibitors.

Vacation destination Switzerland

From short trips to world tours - the vacation fair once again presented a wide range of offers for young and old this year. The mix of regional providers - this year with a focus on Switzerland as a vacation destination, among other things - and major international players offered visitors a source of inspiration. The cruise industry, which has experienced great growth in recent years, and numerous coach companies were also represented, offering something for both small and large budgets.

The high number of exhibitors is primarily due to the high sales potential of the trade fair. The seven cinemas, in which around 300 presentations on various countries and types of travel were held over the four days of the fair, were also well filled. The next Ferienmesse Bern will take place from January 23 to 26, 2025.

Therefore, the trade fair will now find a new place as a guest event and special theme in the spring and trend trade fair Offa (Olma Messen St. Gallen) from April 19 to 23.

The event-ex AG, organizer of the vacation fair St. Gallen, has decided in these days to renounce the realization of its three-day fair from January 20 - 22, 2023 in the planned form as a singular event and to postpone it to February 2024. The target size for pre-registrations of around 200 exhibiting travel companies could not be reached by October 2022.

Staff shortage and parallel event

"One thing that has put a spanner in the works is the fact that, since the summer months, many tour operators and travel agencies have been
We are literally overrun by customer inquiries and have to work with fewer staff than before the crisis. For this reason, a large number of the hoped-for exhibitors will not be able to take part in an additional vacation trade fair due to a lack of personnel, in addition to the existing trade fairs in Zurich and Berne," says Peter Plan, head of the organizer team. Another difficulty is the simultaneous CMT Stuttgart (Europe's largest travel trade fair), which makes participation in St. Gallen impossible, especially for country representatives, regional tourism offices and airlines.
