Hotel Expo : An Infant In The Expo Biz

A Hotel Expo in Macau makes a lot of sense.  Given the many hotels, entertainment complexes and huge tourism that it attracts, an exhibition like this is much appropriate.  However, in as much as their facilities are in place, they have much to learn about organizing a good trade fair.


Hotel Expo was situated in the luxurious and spacious Venetian Hotel.  They had so
many trade halls and function rooms that made Philippine venues look so insignificant
The exhibitors were few and far between that you feel a little sorry for the
participating companies ... Macau businessmen probably not yet used to trade shows.
ipod docks, hotel uniforms, linens, beds, chairs, room accessories and other
amenities were represented on the floor.
Of course, food and beverage are vital components of the hotel industry and
there were a small sprinkling of chinese firms selling them.
We felt sorry for the seminar speakers in the 3 adjacent rooms as there were
only about 2 to 3  people in attendance, and some were even asleep. What a pity!
