The 28 th International Fair of Cochabamba concludes today with flying colors due to the new infrastructure in the exhibition area and the massive attendance of people, but with the challenge of continuing to improve next year.

Feicobol President, Goran Vranicic, highlighted the involvement of the public who filled the place not only on income but more than during all sessions. "We had much more participation in companies, involving several countries, we had a successful Business Matchmaking and what really stands out is the massive participation of people from the first day, "said Vranicic.

In 2010, the Fair closed with a record of 305 thousand people and this year expected to reach 310 000.
on foreign participation, Vranicic indicated that the direct participation of Argentina, Peru, Cuba, Paraguay and Brazil was important this year as well as business representatives in Bolivia marks 30 other countries. Acha
said delegations of Peru and Argentina have already made their request Feicobol space for the 2012 version of the event center.
Feicobol President added that this year there were no major setbacks and even better performance was noted in the consumption of alcohol especially young people. The police played an important role in this because they exercised a strict control on the premises selling alcohol.
"People have been very responsible this year and it should be noted, in terms of safety, that the premises have complied with the closing time," he said. Order
Vranicic announced that next year plans to work on improving Feicobol income to the field and organize the exhibition grounds.
"We are also looking at the possibility of improving what is the issue of parking, fitting around the Fair, organized by categories flags, finished paved streets, bathrooms continue to improve even though they have been improved and expanded . There are several things that are going to go out, the goal is to improve because we have a renewed absolutely fair, "he said.

THE UGLY SIDE OF THE 28th INTERNATIONAL FAIR
BREACH
A One of the flaws that are repeated year after year is the informality of the exhibitors in meeting schedules open stands.
Especially on weekends, people go to the fair grounds program from noon, but faces several enclosed spaces when they should be open from 12:00. DISORDER
A further aspect that is negative at the fairgrounds is the clutter that exists in some areas for entrepreneurs and artisans.
In these places, the stands look like market stalls, the items are mixed and dirt. In some areas, although they are supposedly intended to artisans selling cheap imported objects. POOR ATTENTION
A stands Not all feel the same, but some exhibitors and attendants do not give a good service to the public. People come to ask or demand printed material and make it responsible for poor range.
observed in several cases that while the visitors were coming to a stand, the flight attendant was sitting without attention. TRASH
A Fair generated every day about four tons of garbage and waste many are lying on the floor.
The contract sweepers to clean the show floor say that people do not use the trash cans located throughout the campus. The food court was the place this year gave more problems for workers. HIGH PRICES
A Although the organizers ensured affordable prices in the new food court, several visitors complained about the high cost of food.
indicated that some dishes of the restaurants that were awarded care in the food court are priced nearly 50 percent from its premises outside the show floor. SURROUNDING STREETS
A further problem that continues is the state of the streets around the show floor. The lack of asphalt dust generated many entering the room especially at dusk.
The Mayor is responsible for budgeting for next year to iron out ways to improve the image of business meeting. LIGHTING
A Although this year the Mayor put more lights in the streets near the field and in areas within the enclosure, there are still places that are dark.
Because there are not many sites enabled parking, drivers leave their vehicles, including two blocks from the entrance to the street fair in low light. PARKING LOTS
to the large number of people who this year attended the fair grounds caused the vehicle parking places without supply.
addition, there are few places to park are full of dirt and disorder is well known within generating conflict at the time that visitors want to leave.

THE CHALLENGE IS EXHAUST PRODUCTS
A For exhibitors, hostesses and dealers present at the fair grounds, the challenge of the last day of the event is to deplete your products offered for sale.
business offerings are well received by the public, awaiting the last day to buy. Nobody complained
SALES
A For most companies, the days of the event have been very productive for the gains made by good deals and affordable prices.
All visitors leave the camp grounds with at least one bag of food and beverages products.
TRANSPORTATION SERVICE WAS POOR
A People who visited the show floor complained about the poor service offered by public transport within 10 days of the event. There
few micros and trufis - especially from Monday to Friday - at the entrance, so people had to stand in long queues to board the vehicles. TAXI DRIVERS
HIGH RATES IMPOSED
A Taxi drivers used the lack of public transport vehicles and charged what they wanted.
transportation center field in the lagoon Alalay to the center of the city came to cost 20 Bolivianos or more. The minimum required by the drivers was 12 Bolivians. VISITORS OPINION
