One hundred thirty-three countries visit the fair, including China, the United States, Spain, the Commonwealth of Australia, Brazil, and the Republic of South Africa.
The FIBO Expo’s extensive support programme enables the completion of various business goals, such as networking. This is done via the presentation of diverse sub-events. Among the central sub-events is the extensive exhibition. It allows attendees to showcase and examine new products and services. The exposition spans nine halls and includes 14 main areas: Academy, Cardio, Consulting, EMS, Fashion, Functional training, Fighting Fit, Power, Physio, Wellness, Sports Nutrition, Interior, New Business, and Group Fitness. Each zone focuses on different products or services. For example, Sports Nutrition is the area for sports nutrition supplements.

Each category lauds different innovative wares, such as the breakthroughs created by start-ups.

It gathers in one location physical therapists and fitness studio specialists. It is where specialists learn about up-to-the-minute healthcare therapy or training techniques. Professionals can additionally examine central subjects such as digital health.

Morning Tom,
Hein is back in the office after a very successful business trip. He was very pleased with the hotel and has asked I must keep the name for his next trip to the IWA show in 2018. Once again thanks for your help and friendliness with the booking of the accommodation.
Hi Michelle!
We've loved Hotel Regina :)
Thanks,

Hi,
The average opinion of our people was: The rooms were really o.k., good bed, enough space etc., and there was an easy access to the public transportation. What they did not like was the poor breakfast. Further two of them noticed empty bottles on the room at their arrival, that have not been removed during their whole stay. That's no good room service.
The hotel was very nice and very close to the fair and we even had some of our customers staying there which was a +.
The only issue was that it was a bit loud due to other guests in the hotel.
As for Tracy she did her job perfectly and we are satisfied with her.
