Also attending the International Fair Organizations Meeting in addition to TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu were CHP Vice Chairman Faik Öztrak and chamber chairpersons from surrounding provinces and counties. Hisarcıklıoğlu said in his speech, “Ground zero for this is Germany. Fair grounds constructed by municipalities are managed together with chambers of commerce. Germany’s annual income from fair grounds is 1 billion Euros.”

Stating that Kayseri is a city of commerce and industry, Hisarcıklıoğlu requested that sectoral associations also join in this project. The TOBB President pointed out that the project will find higher rates of adoption as participation increases. Hisarcıklıoğlu stressed the need to consider the companies which construct and manage the fair ground as one.
