Two major partners work together to create an even better platform for the tourism and caravanning industry. Messe Stuttgart, in collaboration with Hamburg Messe und Congress, will organize oohh! The LeisureWorlds, which will take place in Hamburg from Wednesday 9 to Sunday 13 February 2022. oohh! The LeisureWorldsbrings together five individual thematic exhibitions covering as many outdoor recreational activities: Reisen Hamburg (travel), Rad Hamburg (cycling), Caravaning Hamburg (recreational vehicles), Kreuzfahrtwelt Hamburg (cruises) and Fotohaven Hamburg (photography).
The partnership will allow both exhibition companies to strengthen the position and reputation of their exhibitions and to further expand the offer for the tourism and caravanning industry. The new event organizer operates on familiar ground: both with CMT in Stuttgart and CMT China in Nanjing, as well as with Touristik & Caravaning in Leipzig, Messe Stuttgart has already demonstrated its competence in the field of holiday and leisure and outdoor activities fairs.
“This cooperation will make oohh! even more interesting and, thanks to the synergies, create further growth potential at our Hamburg location. The Stuttgart colleagues have many years of experience and excellent connections in the industry,” says Bernd Aufderheide, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hamburg Messe und Congress. “This step is part of our strategy and our conviction to collaborate with strong partners where it makes economic and content sense”.
In 2020 oohh! The LeisureWorlds attracted around 77,000 visitors to Hamburg’s exhibition halls: over the five days of the fair, 770 exhibitors from 37 countries presented their offerings in the travel, caravanning, cycling, cruising and photography sectors. CMT is the world’s largest consumer fair dedicated to tourism and leisure and has been held in Stuttgart for over 50 years. In the last edition in attendance it attracted about 300,000 visitors.
“For over half a century, Messe Stuttgart has been the holiday specialist in the German trade fair sector. Our CMT has been successful in various locations for many years. It is fantastic to contribute our know-how to this event in the North German tourist metropolis”, concludes Roland Bleinroth, President of Messe Stuttgart and head of CMT.
In Germany the camping sector marked record numbers for the 6th year in a row
