The Valencian Chamber of Commerce and the Business Confederation of the Valencian Community (CEV) have urged both the Valencia City Council and the Generalitat to provide a solution to the “critical situation” through Feria Valencia, do “whatever is necessary to avoid your bankruptcy and the institution’s restructuring process is concluded “.
The businessmen have expressed that “it is not acceptable for the internationalization and growth of the Valencian economy, neither in the medium nor in the long term, to dispense with this fair institution” which has almost 104 years of history, a circumstance that, they have assured, “makes the Valencian business community proud”, sources from the employers have indicated.
The fair institution has seen its billing reduced due to the pandemic after the cancellation of the numerous contests that were exhibited there, including Cevimasa, the last show that on January 20 it had to announce its cancellation.
Thus, they highlighted that the investment in Feria Valencia “is a productive investment because it generates tangible and unquestionable benefits, not only in the city, but throughout the Community “and they have recalled that 47% of the 3,500 exhibitors of companies at Feria Valencia have their registered office in the Community, which” they attribute between 5 and 20% of its annual turnover to its presence in the different events of Feria Valencia “.
The Chamber of Commerce of Valencia has stated that Feria Valencia generates, according to a report from the Valencian Institute of Economic Research (IVIE), a wealth in the Valencian Community of just over 0.5% of the Gross Domestic Product ( GDP) and 0.6% of annual employment.
