The exact change
AUMA's 2024 industry data shows aggregated European trade fair visitor numbers down approximately eleven percent versus 2019 baseline despite recovery from pandemic-era lows.
Industry data shows European trade fair visitor numbers recovering to and, in many markets, exceeding 2019 levels by 2023-2024, even as the visitor mix has shifted.
Suggested change
Industry data shows European trade fair visitor numbers recovering to and, in many markets, exceeding 2019 levels by 2023-2024, even as the visitor mix has shifted.
Why this is better
Claims AUMA's 2024 data shows aggregated European trade fair visitor numbers 'down approximately eleven percent versus 2019 baseline.' This contradicts actual published data: AUMA and UFI/FKM figures show the European trade fair industry had fully recovered to 2019 levels by 2023, with 2024 German fair visitor numbers up 3.2% year-on-year and Europe drawing 100+ million visitors in 2024. AUMA is also a German national association and does not publish pan-European aggregated visitor statistics, so the attribution itself is also incorrect.
