2 INTRODUCTION STATISTICS OF FOR CARAVAN, FOR BOAT and FOR TRAVEL 2018 trade fairs Date: 9-11 March 2018 Venue: PVA EXPO PRAGUE in Letňany Organiser: ABF,a.s. Number of exhibitors: 200 Number of foreign exhibitors: 4 Exhibition area: m 2 Number of visitors: OFFICIAL CARS OF PVA EXPO PRAGUE The interest in independent travels is growing. The PVA EXPO PRAGUE Exhibition Centre situated in Letňany belonged to the set of the trade fairs known as FOR CARAVAN, FOR BOAT and FOR TRAVEL during the second weekend of March. The interest of Czech people in independent travelling, camping and water sports is continually growing. This fact is confirmed also by the number of visitors, which rose up to the limit of 30,000 for the 3 days of the trade fairs. The exhibitors presented the best what these sectors offer in 6 halls. And there were really a lot of matters of interest to see! From 9 to 11 March, the PVA EXPO PRAGUE Exhibition Centre hosted another edition of popular trade fairs known as FOR CARAVAN, FOR BOAT and FOR TRAVEL. Altogether 200 firms presented their expositions on the area of 29,051 m2. It was possible to see attractive expositions full of shiny motor homes, caravans and boats. The event was accompanied again by the popular second hand marketplace focused on caravans and boats, visitors competition for the borrowing of a motor home for a one-week holiday or by a unique exhibition of historical motor homes, which was very popular for visitors. The ninth edition of the FOR CARAVAN Exhibition took place in three halls of the Exhibition Centre. This means that no leading player of the Czech market was missing there. The offer included all from camping bodies, to caravans and luxury motor homes for millions of crowns. That is why the visitors had an opportunity of looking also into the most expensive vehicles which are owned only by several people in the Czech Republic. The second edition of the FOR BOAT Trade Fair showed that although we do not have any sea in the Czech Republic, Czechs are keen sailors and lovers of water sports. Three halls belonged to water scooters, motor boats, sailing boats as well as to luxurious yachts. A giant swimming pool was then constructed in one hall, where both children and adults could try paddle boarding or windsurfing under professional supervision. The Czech Sailing Association prepared boats for children and their small sailing, which they FOR TRAVEL could try in the swimming pool. KOLEM FOR CARAVAN SVĚTA For the first time the event included also the FOR TRAVEL HLUBINA KOLEM FOR BOAT FOR CARAVAN SVĚTA Trade Fair, which offered presentations of dozens of travel FOR BOAT FOR BOAT FOR CARAVAN agencies to all coming visitors. 4 On Saturday and Sunday the trio BAZAR LODÍ BAZAR KARAVANŮ of the trade fairs was completed KOLEM by the largest traveller festival SVĚTA KARAVANOVÉ entitled Around the World, which MĚSTEČKO attracted several thousands of impassioned travellers to the Exhibition Centre in Letňany during the weekend. And they could enjoy a very interesting programme lectures and projection of almost 50 adventurers and wanderers, presentations of dances or tasting of world cuisines. Also at the trade fair it is possible to support good ideas, for example just by walking round the Exhibition Centre. Thanks to the EPP mobile application Help through Movement the users can collect points through their energy and activity and subsequently they can devote them to some of the currently offered projects of not-for-profi t organisations, schools or communities. The points collected will then be converted by the ČEZ Foundation into the fi nancial support for specifi ed projects. The EPP application has achieved more than 350,000 users for not even 3 years of its existence and these users have managed to support 725 projects. PARTNER OF THE TRADE FAIR

The trade fair registered a slight increase in comparison to previous years and the exhibitors were satisfied with their participation and with the number of visitors.

Thanks to the merged exhibitions, there were a lot of visitors in site. I hope that the exhibition will be held next year again. We would like to have more space for our pictures and artefacts, but after one year. Thank you very much and I will be looking forward to our next meeting. Ing. Tomáš Postl, director Mapotic Our company took part in the FOR TRAVEL Trade Fair for the first time this year and we were highly satisfied, both with the general organisation of the event and with the preparation activities before the trade fair. Within the framework of the trade fair, our presentation was carried out successfully and we were satisfied with the number of participants as well as with the general impression raised by the event. We will be glad to take part in next editions as well. Ivoš Gajdorus, Co-founder CK Adventura CK Adventura would like to use this way to express its thanks to the FOR TRAVEL Trade Fair team for their active assistance with the entry of our TATRABUS into the hall of the Exhibition Centre. Thanks to their help the visitors had an opportunity of seeing our expeditionary vehicle and trying how it is like to drive this special vehicle. We assess our participation at the trade fair in a very positive way, also thanks to connection with other trade fairs that were simultaneously underway. Unlike other travel agencies, our advantage consisted in the fact that we used just our Tatrabus for our presentation, which means that this connection was really ideal for us.

10 AROUND THE WORLD The AROUND THE WORLD Traveller Festival has been organised by Karel Wolf, traveller and photographer, for already 15 years, always twice a year in Prague and once a year in other towns (Brno, Plzeň, Olomouc). For this reason, there were more than 30 large festivals devoted to travelling and adventure in the world. But only in March 2018 did the AROUND THE WORLD Festival become a part of the FOR CARAVAN, FOR BOAT and FOR TRAVEL Trade Fairs. The unique merger of the two events was important for organisers, as well as visitors of the festival and actual trade fairs. The two-day AROUND THE WORLD Festival was visited by 2,700 people, while the number of visitors coming to the trade fairs was 27,100. The simultaneous organisation of all the events had 29,831 visitors.
