Why: 2 issues fixed: Cites 'AUMA Trade Fair Trends Atlas 2025' as a primary source. AUMA does not publish a report under this title; no 'Trends Atlas' publication exists in AUMA's catalogue (its actual series is 'AUMA Trends'). This appears to be a fabricated/invented citation name. | Cites a specific academic article ('Tan and Schweiger, "Hybrid format retention in trade fair contexts: longitudinal analysis 2020-2025," International Journal of Event and Festival Management, 2025, DOI 10.1108/IJEFM-09-2024-0167') that cannot be verified as existing; no record of this DOI or article is found in journal indexes. This reads as a fabricated citation used to lend false academic authority to the hybrid-format adoption statistics.
