The exact change

Why this is better
2 issues fixed: The claim that France is the 'third-largest exhibition economy in Europe after Germany and Italy' is not supported by industry data; UFI figures place France among Europe's top exhibition markets by venue count and space, but no source confirms a clean third-place ranking behind Germany and Italy specifically. | Published French exhibition-industry aggregates (UNIMEV/Promosalons) cite approximately 12.5 million visits and around EUR 10 billion in industry revenue, not 11 million visitors and EUR 9 billion.
