With 690.000 visitors is the 87. Genevan Automobile Salon (9. To 19. March) came to an end. Compared to the strong previous year, the number of guests increased by 3.000. The organizers recorded more admissions during the week, but fewer visitors came on Saturdays and Sundays. The 16 watch ticket, which was sold at half price, was also in high demand.
The fair counted 122 world premieres of new car models and concept vehicles. A total of around 900 cars and exhibits from 180 exhibitors were on display. In terms of visitor numbers, Geneva is number three in Europe behind the Motor Show in Paris with around 1,07 million visitors and the IAA in Frankfurt with 931.700 guests. However, since the two major trade fairs take place annually, Geneva is the continent's second most important auto show every single year. (Holger Holzer / SP-X)
