– 1 min read
The "Games for Families" roadshow reached more than 100,000 people over a total of eleven days at the autumn fairs in Karlsruhe and Dresden. In Karlsruhe, it even achieved record sales.
Even though visitor numbers have not yet reached the pre-Corona level, planetlan, the organiser of the Games for Families roadshow, is pleased with the results of this year's autumn activities. The fair-within-a-fair made guest appearances at offerta in Karlsruhe and spielraum in Dresden. Over a total of eleven trade fair days, Games for Families achieved 106,000 contacts. In comparison, the fair made a total of nine tour stops in 2019, compared to eight in 2018. In 2018, the total number of visitors was over 800,000.
However, even if the pre-Corona result is not yet within reach in terms of visitor numbers, 'Games for Families' is already better in one respect: at this year's offerta, shop sales at a tour stop set a new record. According to Planetlan, it was more than 17 per cent higher than the previous record set before the pandemic. However, the company did not give an exact turnover figure.
