Trade fair refers to a large event where various companies from a specific industry, gather for diverse marketing purposes. It provides the opportunity for a company to communicate with its potential customers, suppliers, distributors and other crucial stakeholders through face-to-face contact. Trade fair is also known as trade show, exhibition or exposition. They are theoretically slightly different but they are being used interchangeably nowadays and this is applied in this paper as well.

Usually, firms’ top management would like to see measurable results of investments, especially when it concerns high expense. However, effectiveness of trade fair participation might be difficult to evaluate, due to the long period of time needed for a realisation of results and the inability to relate sales back to the origin of customers’ initial contact at the fairs. Even though some exhibitors fail to assess the value of trade fairs for their organisation, they still participate in trade fairs due to market pressure and the presence of the firm’s competitors at the fairs without having a systematic plan to approach the company’s objectives of trade show participation.

The exhibitions of the Tourism Industry fall into this category as well. Tourism products are complicated in their nature. They comprise different components from several industries, namely accommodation, transportation, gastronomy, entertainment etc. to create tourists’ experiences as a whole (Gautam, 2014). Each component is interdependent with one another and that affects the difficulty in building image, promotion, control etc. Moreover, the main characteristic of tourism products is intangibility, which means the products cannot be touched, smelled or tried before the time of purchasing and consuming (Kaiser, 2012). Tourism products are also inseparable, that is, they are produced and consumed at the same time (Kaiser, 2012; Malra, 2011). Therefore, tourism products, which are presented at the fairs, are actually only the promise of experiences or services at the destination through the uses of brochures, presentations and the imitations of destinations. Consequently, visitors at travel trade shows do not have an opportunity to see or touch the real products in which they are interested, unlike the products of other industries. From that point, it is curious that the exhibitors still participate in tourism fairs. What advantages do they gain from the participation?
Nowadays, there are hundreds of travel

For example, when brands release a new product there are huge product launches. In these launches, there are signs placed in the front of the store and the new item gets placed at the entrance of the store on a little table so it can sell. This leads to guests trying new products and purchasing new things. Once every three months, a cosmetic or skin care brand comes in and holds an immense event. It involves make up artists applying makeup on the customers, or the skin care specialists giving facials to customers in order to push the sale for their product.

The subject of sweatshop and child labor is one of great controversy. The first thought to mind when speaking of sweatshops is probably a vision of sketchy factories in far off Third World countries such as Bangladesh or China working their employees 15+ hours a day in cramped up in a dust-filled space for little wages. Not in America though, right? Most Americans would be horribly upset if they found out they had been unknowingly supporting a business that uses sweatshops to produce its merchandise. Odds are though, businesses that exploit such labor are being supported in every shopping trip a person takes whether it be shopping for groceries, clothes, jewelry, or athletic gear.

IDENTIFY AND RESEARCH A TOURISM ATTRACTION Introduction Tourism has experienced continued growth and extensive diversification and competition on the last decades, becoming one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world and by consequence, one of the main income sources for many developing countries. “Every time we travel we are part of a global movement that has the power to drive inclusive development, to create jobs and to build the sustainable societies we want for our future,” says the actual UNWTO¹ Secretary General, Taleb Rifai. “This movement also contributes to build mutual understanding and to safeguard our shared natural and cultural heritage,” he completes.
