More than 20,000 foreign professionals visited the 37th edition of Cevisama, the international fair for ceramic tile, bathroom furnishings and natural stone, which took place at Feria Valencia from January 28 - February 1. Specifically, 91,179 professionals visited the fair from 155 countries (compared with 90,572 from 154 countries in 2018). Of these, 20,181 were foreign visitors (as against 17,651 last year), a figure that had never been reached before and that confirms the positioning of an event that is increasingly international every year.
The figures have led Cevisama to claim that foreign professionals accounted for 22% of the total number of visitors and that the fair attracted visitors from the industry’s key markets, given that 55% of foreign buyers came from the traditional European markets: Italy, France, Portugal, the UK and Germany (which accounted for 36.84% of all foreign visitors), plus Russia, Algeria, Morocco, the U.S., Belgium and Poland.
