The London International Wine Fair are delighted that they continued breaking records in 2009 - the number of visitors returning to ExCeL for more than one day. 5,562 visitors visited the Fair for two or more days, up three percent on the previous highest re-attendance figure, which was also set last year.
The London International Wine Fair and Distil has attracted the second highest visitor audience in the event’s 29 year history.
The net visitor figure of 13,893 individuals was seven percent below the extraordinary level achieved at the 2008 show, which had beaten the previous record high by nine percent.
James Murray, event director, commented: “Despite the best efforts of the UK recession, global economic collapse and the threat of swine flu, we’ve enjoyed excellent results. Distil, which welcomed 6,190 visitors over the three days, has strengthened its position as the dedicated spirits event to the trade and exhibitors throughout both events have been really positive about the future.”
The 2010 event will run from 18-20 May at ExCeL celebrating its 30th anniversary.

Geoff Lawrence, Sales and Marketing Director at All Leisure Group comments, “some of the most respected and recognisable names in Travel PR pitched for these accounts, yet COMPLETE really stood out.

The agency will seek to differentiate Swan Hellenic and Voyages of Discovery from their competitors by highlighting the unique benefits of both brands. COMPLETE aim to position both Swan Hellenic and Voyages of Discovery as the cruise lines of choice for holiday makers with a thirst for knowledge who are keen to learn about the cultures and destinations they visit. The agency will also support and generate sales of individual cruise itineraries and over the longer-term, support after-sales care and brand-loyalty initiatives.
Jos Dewing, Marketing Manager at All Leisure Group adds; “COMPLETE understand that marketing activities need to focus on delivering sales and measurable ROIs, as well as increasing brand awareness.
