More than 52,000 visitors came to the Taipei International Cycle Trade Show 2008, including 4,688 overseas buyers (an increase of 19% upon the previous year). This exhibition is one of the most well-known and popular show in Taiwan. This strong showing has already prompted many buyers to inquire about pre-arranging bookings at next year’s show. Scores of booking enquiries for the 2009 show came from foreign manufacturers in Europe, the US and Australia who wanted to confirm their place in the coming show.
