This exhibition is a unique opportunity for professionals to meet, promote, deal business and get in touch with domestic and international demand of tourist products and services. The importance given to collateral events characterize NF among the overview of convention exhibitions. More than 150 events dedicated to training, networking, discussion, technology and everything that interest operators in the travel industry.150 events that can be found only at NF. The strategy of creating an event with unique contents has given extraordinary results in terms of participation. The 2015th edition has registered record numbers both of visitors and exhibitors with the participation of professionals (68% on Friday-32% on Saturday). It s worth considering the remarkable increase in the number of participants from the hotel industry.
