Around 12,000 visitors from around the world are expected to converge on the Danish city of Aalborg for three days next week as the DanFish International exhibition takes place.
This is the 28th DanFish International – and the first to be held Tuesday-Thursday (10-12th October), giving exhibitors and visitors an opportunity to be home comfortably in time for the weekend.
According to the organisers, this is one of few fishing industry events that always attracts visitors from far and wide, including from Japan, Australia, Canada, India and Iceland. This year more than 50 different nations are represented at DanFish International.
Thyborøn Havn is just one of the exhibitors which takes the opportunity to support the community for colleagues, business partners and customers, both during the fair itself and at their famous Thyborøn Evening of fun and live music at Zwei Grosse Bier Bar.
‘For us, DanFish International is primarily about relationship building. This is where we really strengthen our relationships with customers, colleagues and business partners,’ said Tine Jensen Le Breton, Head of Sales and Marketing at Thyborøn Havn.
‘Our traditional Thyborøn Evening, which takes place in connection with the fair, illustrates how well we cooperate with both the national and international guests. People always look forward to being part of Thyborøn Evening, regardless of whether they come from Thyborøn, the Netherlands or Norway.’
There’s an almost fifty-year tradition behind DanFish International, which over the years has grown so large that the Aalborg exhibition centre is expanded with a 4000 square metre temporary hall.
It’s not only AKKC exhibition centre that buzzes with life during the three fair days. Aalborg’s hotel capacity, restaurants and public transport are fully utilised by the many thousands of visitors who come from near and far to participate in the fair, which offers three days of high spirits and good atmosphere.
DanFish International is of great importance for the city of Aalborg, as the fair has a direct derivative effect on the city of at least DKK39,000,000, this is due, among other things, to the fact that the majority of the city’s hotel rooms are fully booked in connection with the fair.
