Shoval Pro Launches New Office in Paris

We are pleased to announce that Rachel Doron has been appointed to manage Shoval Pro's office in Paris and its operations. She will bring Shoval Pro's high capabilities in designing and producing exhibition booths to French companies at a top creative level globally.

Why Paris?

In recent years, Germany has lost its lead in hosting exhibitions and professional conferences across Europe. France has taken its place, with Paris currently ranked as the world's leading city among major cities hosting exhibitions, ahead of Tokyo, Las Vegas, and Shanghai, and of course, in Europe.

"Business with Pleasure" – This is the dominant theme that has led Paris to attract exhibition organizers to host events in the city. Paris provides all the facilities that complement this slogan, while exhibition centers like Essen or Düsseldorf in Germany offer strictly business, mainly during the cold winter months. The choice of Paris was clear and easy.

Exhibitions and Conferences in Paris

Paris hosts nearly 400 exhibitions, 1,000 professional conferences, and about 3,000 other commercial events annually. In these major exhibitions, over 500 exhibitors from around the world participate, each investing considerable attention in designing their booth and turning it into a marketing event where they launch new products and strengthen the company’s image among existing and potential new clients. Most exhibitors testify that exhibitions are their dominant marketing tool.

Infrastructure and Logistics

Unlike most cities worldwide that struggle with the complex logistics of hosting tens and hundreds of thousands of visitors, Paris has an arsenal of over 150,000 hotel beds at all levels, placing it first in the world in this category. The display areas in the city include three main exhibition centers and several medium-sized congress centers, offering a total area of about 700,000 square meters of indoor space. Additionally, Paris airports are connected by roads and trains to the city center and other cities in France, and they are ready to receive millions of visitors each year, in addition to the millions of tourists who visit the city.

Paris as a Leading Tourist Destination

Paris maintains a prestigious position as a world leader in the number of tourists visiting it alongside London, Singapore, Dubai, and Bangkok, with about 20 million tourists annually.
