For the pets
Creature Companions magazine, a pet
care magazine in association with Zee Business is
organising India's first international pet fare from
this Friday at NSIC Exhibition Hall, Okhla, New Delhi.
Dr. M.S. Gill, the former Chief
Election Commissioner of India and presently a Member of
Rajya Sabha will inaugurate the fare. The objective of
the magazine is to put India on the international pet
fair map, like Interzoo pet trade fare in Nuremberg,
Germany, CIPS international pet trade fare in Beijing
and Zoomark pet trade fare in Italy.
The fare will be open to both
business class and general public. Few NGOs are also
participating in the fare.
More than 6,000 pet lovers and
trade professionals helped make the first International
Pet Fair in India a success.
Organized by Creature Companions
magazine, the fair took place Feb. 9-10 at the NSIC
Exhibition Hall in Okhla, New Delhi. While a majority of
attendees came from New Delhi, approximately 1,500
attendees from across India and other countries visited
the fair.
According to fair organizers,
several trade professionals who attended were pleased
with the turnout, and were excited to participate again
next year.
“When Interzoo started, they were
smaller than this,” said Manfred Bogdahn, president of
Flexi International. “What you have here is an excellent
start. Please do keep at it.” [June 2007 PET AGE]
