More than 80 per cent of the exhibitors come from abroad. The most strongly represented countries are Italy, Great Britain, the USA, the Netherlands and Spain. There will be a total of eleven - partly enlarged - national pavilions from Brazil, Great Britain, India, Italy, Canada, Singapore, Taiwan, the Czech Republic, the USA and, new this year, from France and South Korea.
WZF is registering an increase in the number of registrations for exhibition stands from some European countries, such as Turkey (+114 per cent) and Spain (+15 per cent), each with around 60 exhibitors. Overseas demand is stronger, for example from South Korea (+33 per cent) and India (+22 per cent) with well over 20 and 40 exhibitors respectively.
Due to the abolition of travel restrictions and a tried and tested hygiene concept, Dr. Rowena Arzt, Head of Exhibitions at WZF, also expects a strong international visitor base: "At past Interzoo events, around a quarter of the visitors always came from Germany and three quarters from abroad - around 42 per cent from other European countries and just over 30 per cent from non-European countries. We are assuming a similar structure for Interzoo 2022, although we expect fewer visitors from some Eastern European and Asian countries due to the situation. The importance of Interzoo as the world's leading international trade fair remains unaffected by this, and the trade fair offers numerous opportunities for international contacts, discussions and business."
