Review of Tourism Exhibitions in Russia

Every year Russia hosts exhibitions that are of interest not only for Russian, but also for foreign companies. Exhibition events are one of the means of marketing communication in the field of tourism. They grant a lot of opportunities to explore the market and competition level in detail, to strengthen tourism relations, to form and widen a customer database for future, to earn interest for products within the shortest time, to commercialize the newest services/goods, and to advance the image of the brand. Besides, present exhibition events allow attraction of mass media attention. However, what matters most is that they give an immediate boost for adoption of new technologies in tourism.

RMAA Group decided to prepare a useful review of tourism exhibitions. The reason for that is simple: many of our clients take part in exhibition events, and we help them with that. Our participating clients often need exhibition support, and our experts gather necessary people, appoint meetings of participants with potential clients, and solve many other important issues. We will gather the people you need, help to organize a ‘ready-made’ exhibition event on a professional level. With our help, you will significantly expand an area of your influence in Russia on internationally.
