Why this is better
2 issues fixed: AUMA does not publish a report titled 'AUMA Exhibitor Cost Benchmark Reports 2024-2026' with a 'staffing section', nor an 'AUMA Exhibitor Survey 2025, staffing section' containing the specific quoted staffing commentary given. These read as unverified report titles; AUMA's real published resources are 'Successful Trade Fair Participation' and the annual 'AUMA Exhibitor Outlook'. | The article cites 'UFI Global Exhibition Barometer, exhibitor operational commentary editions 33-34' as the source for specific conversion-rate statistics (25-40 percent for understaffed stands, 65-80 percent for well-staffed stands). This is an overly specific, unverifiable edition-number attribution for precise figures.
