Safe visit to the fair thanks to safety and hygiene concept
12 ottobre 2021
In B2B business, it is particularly important to establish personal contacts and exchange information as well as to experience products in real life - this is the only way to achieve business goals. These points are the cornerstones of the consumer-goods fairs Christmasworld, Paperworld, Creativeworld and Ambiente. To ensure safe personal contact, Messe Frankfurt has developed a concept that includes detailed organisational, hygienic and medical measures.
The safety and hygiene concept was already applied at the first events in autumn 2021 at the exhibition grounds in Frankfurt am Main - and will also apply to Christmasworld (29.1.-2.2.2022), Paperworld and Creativeworld (30.1.-2.2.2022) and Ambiente (11.-15.2.2022). It was drawn up together with the responsible authorities of the State of Hesse and with the recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute and will be regularly adapted to current circumstances.
"For us as a trade fair organiser, the safety of all exhibitors, visitors, partners and employees has top priority. At the same time, we want to give manufacturers and dealers a good restart into the new business year with our trade fair platforms. Thanks to the protection and hygiene concept, we can ensure the all-important personal contact at our trade fairs with the necessary security. After all, the need for personal encounters and physical exchange continues unabated in our sectors and we are pleased to be able to make this possible again", says Philipp Ferger, Vice President Consumer Goods Fairs, Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH.
Messe Frankfurt's hall and infrastructure is not only unique, but also an important module in the safety and hygiene concept. In order to make personal encounters at attendance fairs as safe as possible, Messe Frankfurt makes use of various control mechanisms. These go far beyond the measures taken in the public sector and also make the Frankfurt exhibition halls into excellent and safe meeting places, even in times of pandemic, as was recently demonstrated in mid-September at the Automechanika. The measures include 100 per cent fresh air supply, generous design of halls and entrances to maintain safety distances, intensive cleaning measures, a hygiene-adapted catering concept and the proven wearing of mouth and nose protection.
Business trips to Germany possible without quarantine
According to the current status, entry into Germany is possible for business travellers from almost all countries without quarantine. The prerequisite for this is a business reason, which is participation in the trade fair. In addition, visitors require proof of complete vaccination, recovery or a current antigen test (3G).
