The vast majority of the trade has returned from the APLF in Hong Kong, while there are still a handful of people still travelling Asia following the show. Overall, it appears the initial perception of the trade is that although attendance for this year’s fair may not have been as strong as previous years, we have heard from a number of people that the ratio of serious buyers to overall visitors to booths was much higher than in years past. In the meantime, this week is the Bologna Fair and although this is a fair not well attended by members of the US trade, we spoke with several members of the trade in Europe who will attend.
