B&B Network at the B&B Expo 2008

RECORD NUMBER OF EXHIBITORS AT B&B EXPO 2008 IN BRUSSELS B&B EXPO 2008 will be the biggest international event where bed and breakfast and charming little hotels present their services to the public. For the third edition of this unique fair in March 2008, the number of exhibitors registered is achieving new records. More and more travellers discover the charm and the advantages of bed and breakfasts or small hotels. The quality of staying in a B&B and the personal attention are among the key reasons for many of us that are looking for a real break. More than 200 exhibitors will present their services during the next B&B EXPO in Brussels. This successful event is not only increasing its visitor number, more and more B&B holders consider the fair as an affordable marketing tool and a unique forum to meet colleagues and potential guests. With more and more people starting up B&B's or small hotels, this part of the tourist trade is becoming more professional and organised to respond to the market needs. "At this moment, there are already more exhibitors registered compared to last year and we receive every day more requests to participate" says Jean Pierre Vandevenne, manager of the event. "We have adapted the exhibition hall in order to be able to receive more than 200 exhibitors". B&B EXPO expects to exceed the number of 10,000 visitors to attend the event. Exhibitors for the third edition of B&B EXPO are coming from everywhere. Traditionally, a lot of French stand holders will be present but for next edition, Italian B&B's may outnumber the French delegation. B&B EXPO is however an international event with exhibitors also coming from Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Switzerland, Ireland, Czech Republic, Slavakia, Bulgaria, Morocco and even from long distance destinations such as Brazil, the USA, Costa Rica, Thailand or South Africa. Apart from a number of new destinations that will be attending the event, more and more B&B's and hotels will also present special interest holidays such as ecological holidays, active holidays, B&B's specialised for bikers, luxury stays at castles or affordable holidays in the country. B&B EXPO will take place 15th and 16th March 2008 at Brussels Expo in Brussels. The B&B Network can be found on stand 60
