A purchasing platform with a maximum of utilisation options.

TRADEFAIRS is the leading web-based purchasing platform for room allotments during trade fairs, including the setting up and dismantling phases.

The innovative purchasing platform offers room allotments for a total of over 100 national and international trade fairs per year that can be booked online and free of charge. Up to 3,000 rooms for individual major trade fairs. In this context, TRADEFAIRS makes it possible to book allotments in advance, subject to non-binding suggested prices. For up to one year in advance.

The strong market position of the DERTOUR tour operator - which TRADEFAIRS belongs to - gives us a strong negotiating position vis-à-vis the hotel sector. That results in particularly attractive framework conditions, which you - as a customer - can benefit from directly. Interesting strategic partnerships with individual hotels and hotel chains make the offered options even more attractive for trade fair participants. Against this background, TRADEFAIRS offers the perfect combination of cost-effective prices and attractive cancellation deadlines.

The business model of TRADEFAIRS is perfectly tailored to the requirements of corporate customers - exhibitors and trade fair service companies. The primary objective in this regard is time as well as cost efficient planning and at the same time safeguarding of hotel availabilities for trade fairs in the long term.

However, TRADEFAIRS is also available to all trade fair visitors who would like to cover a short-term need for rooms in the run-up phase before a trade fair. Because of the co-operation arrangement with the affiliated DERhotel.com portal, TRADEFAIRS customers can book one to three rooms for up-to-the-minute rates at any time, even after a trade fair has already started. That service is available if the room allotments purchased by TRADEFAIRS have already been exhausted.

TRADEFAIRS is especially interesting for the following target groups:

• exhibitors: as a tool to secure room allotments during trade fairs at an early stage and in the long-term
• trade fair visitors: as a platform for realisation of short-term hotel bookings in the run-up phase before a trade fair
• trade fair service companies: as a booking portal for hotel rooms during the setting up and dismantling phase
