ZITF not a flea market as it bans selling of goods
08 Mar 2011 at 07:56hrs | Views
Zimbabwe's annual trade exhibition has banned the selling of goods by exhibitors during this year's event to prevent the showcase from being turned into a flea market and bring back its former glory.
The ZITF had been turned into a flea market with local Small to medium enterprises (SMES) selling their goods during the showcase to make up for the lack of international exhibitors who continued to snub the annual trade exhibition.
The ban on the sale of goods is also an attempt to bring the trade showcase to its former glory when it used to attract international exhibitors.
The ZITF is a place where manufactures and providers of services come to present their goods to interested buyers, hoping to receive orders and establishing a partnership that will last for years.
If sales across the counter were permitted to continue throughout the expo, no meaningful deal making will take place…it is the aim of the government and the ZITF Company to bring the annual exhibition to its former glory.
