The service was excellent and nothing to complain about. I really appreciated the patience and kindness shown by Ms.Ellie from traveltofair who assisted me at any time.

Update
BAUExpo 2026 will take place between February 21st and February 23rd, 2026, in Messe Giessen.
Calling Card
BAUExpo is one of the most successful regional platforms for the sale of building and construction materials, equipment, and services. The trade fair provides comprehensive support and services for the public and trade visitors. It’s based in Giessen, Germany and takes place at the Messe Giessen every year at the end of February. BAUExpo supports local manufacturers and provides homeowners with the opportunities to make direct purchases towards completing their renovation and building jobs. Product launches are extremely popular, and exhibitors can make excellent direct sales and generate sales leads. The trade fair also provides a phenomenal support programme where you can get the scoop on the most recent market trends and technologies emerging.
Business Potential
So what makes BAUExpo the largest purchasing platform in the region? It’s the richness in the product assortment available. Visitors come in order to discover everything they need to complete a construction project: roofs, walls, facades, windows, doors, gates, interior design and furnishings. You can even find prefabricated and solid houses available for purchase, get ideas on garden and landscape designs and even find everything for home renovation. Professional visitors and buyers come in order to meet face to face with established brands on the local market like BG BAU - Berufsgenossenschaft der Bauwirtschaft, BT Verlag GmbH, Vaillant Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, and Verlag Kastner In der E.Kastner KG. The audience is made up of homeowners alongside trade visitors like developers, contractors, tradespeople, and manufacturers.
Did You Know?
BAUExpo is highly committed to exploring trends in the future of construction and living. The trade fair has dedicated areas for Smart Home, Security in House and Apartment and Barrier-free Building and Living. One of the more interesting and useful additions is the ENERGIE exhibit on the main show floor. This specialist exhibition targets the demands placed on the construction industry on reducing energy costs and finding more ecologically friendly ways to proceed in the future. A lot of talks and lectures about energy, investments, and funding are held as part of the support programme. At ENERGIE, visitors can see new technologies ranging from bio heating oil and energy renovation to geothermal technology and energy-efficient new building material.

Our visitors for the event


Our stay in this hotel was pleasant, we were well located in the city center and close to the public transportation to reach the fair venue. The help and support of Travel To Fair was excellent as usual, I am looking forward to work again with them for CPhI 2024. I.Carrara

Dear Megan,
Thank you, it went very well. Hotel was nice and I liked the location very much. Would have been nice with a chair and maybe a small desk in the room, but no biggie.
I will probably buy via our cruise network next time, I usually do, so not relevant.
Med venlig hilsen/best regards

Hi Michelle
Thanks for the follow up on our ProWein 24 trip.
The Mercure served its purpose for us as we were only there a couple of nights - and didn't really spend too much time at the hotel.
We understood hotel was a bit further out (and this was reflected in the pricing) - only slight negative was length of time it took for a taxi to arrive. Would have hoped hotel had a contract with taxi firm to ensure guests don't have too long to wait once ordered. We learned from our initial mistake and ensured we had pre-ordered a taxi for return to airport.
Positives:
Helpful staff
Great humour from barman!
Clean, basic rooms
Negatives:
No safe in room
No iron in room
Length of time for taxis to arrive
Overall, Michelle made the booking process very simple and was a great help with my questions and area information - thank you!
Should we require accommodation for events going forward we'll be in touch.
Thanks
