ECONOMIC RESULTS
96 | 97
Despite developing its activity in a context of
difficult economic recession, which continues
to affect the different productive sectors in which
Fira hosts its main trade shows, 2013 has
been a good year in terms of global turnover,
as there has been a significant trade fair and
congress activity.
The turnover exceeds 117.8 million euros,
the highest figures reached since the start of the
recession, which became palpable for trade
fair activity from 2009 on. There seems to be,
then, a certain tendency towards growth.
Reaching this revenue has been possible
thanks to the constant effort to innovate
in shows, in internationalization
strategies and in the generation of new
products that effectively respond to social
and commercial demands.
Fira has progressively diversified the origin
of its revenues, reaching in 2013 very significant
figures. The revenues coming from shows
and congresses organised by external operators
or from the sale of services and hostelry have
been quite relevant.
As for the main events, once again Mobile World
Congress stands out in its first event at the
Gran Via venue. Its impact on the results
is extremely significant, together with other
significant events like the International Motor
Show, Construmat, Piscina Barcelona,
Smart City World Congress, EVS27, EIBTM,
Bizbarcelona and the International Boat Show,
among other hosted in 2013.
Over the last years, there has been a change
in the origin of revenues. Fira is becoming a global
facilitator for exhibitors and organisers, offering
