Over 250 exhibitors for Global Expo 2010

The annual trade exhibition organised by the Botswana Export Development and Investment Authority (BEDIA) is expecting more exhibitors, visitors and revenue after undergoing a slight slump last year due to the economic recession.

Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, BEDIA Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Jacob Nkate, said the number of exhibitors this year is expected to rise to 250 from 160 last year and 200 exhibitors have already confirmed their bookings for stalls while the remaining stalls are expected to be booked by November 12 when bookings close.
