FAIRS AND EXHIBITIONS 

In the commercial world today trade fairs and exhibitions are very important for business contacts.

Every year a lot of international, national and speciali­zed exhibitions and fairs are held in different countries of the world. The number of countries and companies who take part in them is growing from year to year and the scope of fairs and exhibitions is becoming larger.

The display during these exhibitions includes a wide range of exhibits which show the latest achievements in different fields of industry, science and agriculture of many countries.

Usually fairs and exhibitions are crowded with visitors, who show much interest in the exhibits on display. The visitors usually ask many questions and the stand attendants answer them and explain everything in great details.

At international and national exhibitions commercial cen­tres are established where participants can negotiate the sale and the purchase of different goods.

Every exhibition is an eye-opening experience and al­so a method to advertise products. Fairs and exhibitions are usually held under various mottoes: people and progress, peace and progress through economic cooperation and so on. International fairs and exhibitions pave the way for the con­solidation of friendship among countries and nations.
