Trade Fairs
More than the famous OLMA
The Olma Trade Fair in St.Gallen is not only of great economic importance for the "Gallus City", but also is a identifier like the Abbey District, the textile tradition, the educational facilities, the football club steeped in tradition or the famous "Bratwurst".
Trade Fairs, exhibitions, congresses, meetings and festive occasions draw seven hundred thousand people to the Eastern Swiss metropolis year after year. They raise the image of the city and the name recognition factor of the "City in the Ring of Green" and are thereby beneficial over and above the trade fairs and exhibitions. They generate value for various branches of the economy, from tourism with the hotel sector and gastronomy to commerce.
