1 8 th FISHING TRADE FAIR FINAL REPORT February 2017

2 FOR FISHING / Venue: PVA EXPO PRAGUE / Organiser: ABF, a.s. / Number of exhibitors: 181 Dear Exhibitors and Business Partners, Please allow me to use this way of communication to thank you once more again for your participation in the 8 th edition of the FOR FISHING Trade Fair. The trade fair was attended altogether by 181 exhibiting firms which presented their expositions in 4 halls on a gross exhibition area of 14,000 m 2. The trade fair was visited altogether by 31,073 anglers. We are glad to see that the FOR FISHING Trade Fair becomes a sought-after and prestigious event both in the Czech Republic and at the international level, and we will be very glad if you support this trade fair through your participation next year as well. For the FOR FISHING Trade Fair team Michal Sedláček Chief Trade Fair Manager OFFICIAL CARS Czech Ford is a proud titular partner of ABF a.s. and as such it understands the importance and high standard of the PVA EXPO PRAGUE trade fair events and it is always glad to use a possibility of presenting its products and services to all visitors interested in them, whether representatives of the professional public or private individuals. Both visitors and exhibitors were interested very much in the Ford cars again. We placed emphasis on presentation of models suitable for business purposes, as well as of those intended for private and family uses. The cars are developed not only with regard to safety but also to their design which does not get old. That is why they can become an excellent accessory to modern living. We consider our partnership with ABF as an ideal symbiosis in which we would like to continue, of course. Libor Beneš, Marketing Manager, FORD MOTOR COMPANY, s.r.o.

6 TESTIMONIALS OF EXHIBITORS Jakub Vágner, JAKUB VÁGNER RYBÁŘSTVÍ In my opinion, the 2017 FOR FISHING has fostered its position of a leading fishing trade fair with pan- European importance. I was pleased by the record-breaking interest of exhibitors originating from 12 different countries, who presented more than 800 fishing brands to visitors. The exhibition halls with hundreds of expositions attracted a lot of fishing celebrities to Prague, from the Czech Republic and abroad, experienced anglers, as well as families with children, which pleased me very much. I myself am looking forward to cooperation during the 9 th edition of the FOR FISHING 2018 and I wish a lot of fishing success to all anglers. Roman Veselý, FOX INTERNATIONAL This year s edition (2017) has been already the third one in which Fox participated with its exposition intended for the FOR FISHING Exhibition. From my point of view it is possible to see that the level of this exhibition is continually moving forward, which can be seen not only in terms of the number of visitors, but especially in terms of the number of exhibitors. Also the size of our exposition has risen this year up to 300 square metres. This confirms the importance which Fox International ascribes to this exhibition. I highly appreciate wide corridors between individual expositions, thanks to which visitors do not feel constrained, in spite of a large number of visitors, as it is often the case at other exhibitions.
