BIOFACH 2022 has been postponed by NürnbergMesse GmbH. The postponement has taken place after extensive consultations with the attending exhibitors. The leading trade fair for organic food will return to Messe Nuremberg as a hybrid event. It will take place alongside VIVANESS 2022 between 26.07.2022 - 29.07.2022. Organisers are already hard at work in creating a safe event concept. The concept will include measures such as:
All attendees must register ahead of time. Participants must provide contact information during registration, including full names and home addresses. When entering the exhibition, participants must show their tickets and a 3G document. Valid 3G documents are vaccination certificates, proof of recovery, or negative test results.

Hello Tom,

Thank you for your support

I'm not positive how I stumbled across "Travel to Fairs Limited", but I'm so glad I did. A simple request for traveling advice turned into a fantastic planning experience. My first point of contact (Via telephone) was from Ms. Ellie Stone. From that point forward I worked solely with her. My plans were extremely complex and Ellie was there for me the entire time. Flying from the United States, traveling to four separate cites in three European countries seemed daunting. After a few questions and some conversation, Ellie was able to give me multiple hotel options in each city. Ms. Stone even divided each hotel by their amenities. (Included breakfast/bars/public transport etc.) In addition to her thorough help with hotel accommodations, Ellie also booked three (3) separate flights for me. Germany to Denmark to Poland. For each city/destination, Ellie offered no fewer than 3 options for accommodations. Same for my flight options. Each destination had three choices. Different airlines and different departure times so I could manage my travel easily. The communication between Ellie and myself was excellent. With the time change between us, emails worked perfectly. Ellie was very attentive to my needs and responded to my questions/inquiries quickly. On more than a few occasions, when I called her office, she took the time to answer me right away. I would love to extend my gratitude and genuine "thanks" to Ellie. Dare I say... she made this experience fun. 5 STARS !!! Her company should be grateful to have her working there.
Dear Michelle,
That’s really good news, thank you so much for your fantastic help.
I’ll print all the vouchers and ready to fly out.
I hope you stay safe and wish you great weekend ahead.
Dear Michael
Thanks for reaching me out. Tom Parker was very helpful and patient as we did so many changes due to the pandemic situation not so easy to manage.
For the future we would prefer to include the breakfast in the negotiation with the hotel.
I will leave my feedback in the link you provided soon.
Best regards
Great service, great people…
Dear Nick,
I'm sorry I could not answer the phone. I was not in business last week, so I'm in a big crowd.
He wants to thank you again for your accommodation.
In Frankfurt, we were very nice. The hotel is close to the fairground and the city center. Rooms are very nice, clean and neat.
Frankfurt is arranged. I hope we stay in touch, and maybe we will be back together with the accommodation
Great regards, Amela
Everything was okay. Nice staff. Clean room, very quite place, no street rush, perfect breakfast. Not enough parking spaces but it was not a problem to park in the street few metres from hotel. Perfect hotel for few nights for business trips. Not far from Messe Stuttgart - only 10 minutes by car. Without any traffic.
Dear Tom,
thank you for your email. The hotel was quite good but the service was not honestly professional, staff was not so friendly and the rooms were a bit poor. We had to change the personal code (to use elevators, enter in the room, parking etc..) 3 times as we had 3 reservations/each. Sometimes my colleague found the room not clean and in the same condition as in the morning.
However the location was good and my general feedback is positive. I thank you very much for your support, you are really professional and quick in replying.
Thank you again for your cooperation,
Best regards
Hello Simon,
Thank you for calling, and thank you for sharing your contact!
We are satisfied with the hotel, clean rooms, friendly staff and good breakfast. Not far from the exhibition area, and a quiet place. Everything was handled smooth, good service.
Best regards,
Ann-Sofie Lundberg
It was definitely a very good choice with its location, cleanliness and comfort. Thanks Megan Moore.
Dear Megan,
Regarding the hotel, it was ok, some rooms were very small like mine but it was clean. Some other colleagues were happy because they had big rooms with a nice view. The staff was friendly and very useful.
Regards,
Céline AVILA-PENELON
Thank you, Megan!
All your support and kindness so far has been really precious indeed :)
Have a very nice afternoon.
Kind regards.
