“This annual international trade fair in the Philippines remains to be the freshest of the Asian fairs and has been tagged as one of the most well attended and sought after international furniture show in Southeast Asia,” the CFIF statement said.Cebu X 2005 saw buyer numbers go up 19 percent to 1,627 from last year’s buyer count of 1,363.
Sales also increased by four percent to $27.4 million from the $26.4 generated in last year’s show. JBN |
