Spain’s Piscina & Wellness Barcelona show will be held one week earlier (Oct. 13-16) at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via Exhibition Centre to attract more exhibitors and attendees.
In addition to the new dates, the show has a new name and is implementing a fresh approach to reflect the recommendations of the country’s pool and spa/hot tub association, Asociación Española de Profesionales del sector Piscinas (ASOFAP), and the industry’s leading companies. As a result, Piscina & Wellness Barcelona looks to heighten its image and increase its participation from abroad. Currently, more than 60 per cent of exhibitors and 30 per cent of attendees are out of the country.
According to the show’s organizing committee, the expo is attended by exhibitors and trade professionals from 100 different countries with an interest in the Spanish swimming pool market—the second largest in Europe and fourth biggest in the world.
“Water is the lifeblood of our sector and its new uses, which combine relaxation, sport, leisure, pleasure and health, are transforming the market and driving its growth,” said the show’s director, Josep Jonàs. “This aspect is highlighted in the show’s new image, with drops of water representing the areas of swimming pool, wellness and aquatic facilities, all converging in a global event to increase business across all sectors.”
