calculate the total global economic impact of exhibitions regionally and globally. The results of this first-ever research were published in April 2019.</p> <p>UFI Member Associations can request individual country profile reports, and several national reports have been produced since: the economic impact of exhibitions in the <strong>UK</strong> (October 2019 and October 2023), the economic impact of exhibitions in <strong>Spain</strong> (June 2020), the economic impact of exhibitions in <strong>Thailand</strong> (June 2022) and the economic impact of exhibitions in <strong>Greece</strong> (February 2024).</p> <p>The key results from those studies that were conducted up to 2022 can be found in Section 4 of the <strong>updated 2022 edition of the UFI report</strong>.</p> <p>Contact:<a href="mailto:research@ufi.org"> <strong>research@ufi.org</strong></a></p> </div>
