| “80% OF THE BMP 2006 SPACE HAS ALREADY BEEN RESERVED” Enrique Lacalle, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the International Real Estate Show and Symposium Barcelona Meeting Point, organized by El Consorcio de la Zona Franca, whose Executive President is Manuel Royes, considers that the ninth edition of Barcelona Meeting Point “turned out beyond all expectations, and confirmed it as the great International Real Estate meeting in Autumn”. Figures are spectacular: SYMPOSIUM FIGURES • Symposium Participants 2,855 • Speakers 82 • Symposium Sessiones 21 EXHIBITION HALL FIGURES • Professional attendees 21,963 • General Attendance (until 1.30 p.m.) 190,253 • Exhibiting companies 630 • Participating companies 5,310 • National companies 2,957 • International companies 2,353 • Exhibiting countries 21 • Participating countries 77 • Registered national journalists 512 • Registered international journalists 185 Enrique Lacalle says the BMP’s 2005 figures confirm the exhibition as the first Real Estate Exhibition in Spain, the only professional and international one and a point of reference in the European real estate industry and confirm the slogan that says: “Visiting BMP in the autumn is a must in the real estate industry.” It should be pointed out that 80% of the exhibition area is already reserved, as happened last year, with new space reservations for international cities and companies for 2006. Enrique Lacalle points out that the tenth edition of BMP will take place from the 7th to the 12th November, 2006. Although it is very difficult to make an exact calculation, in the duration of BMP 2005 “the estimate turnover of the real estate deals carried out by the exhibitors between General Attendance and Professional Show, may exceed the 5,000 million euros”. Lastly, Enrique Lacalle would like to highlight several aspects of BMP 2005: • First, the overall satisfaction of exhibitors, professionals, Symposium attendees, and national and international attendance. • Second, BMP 2005 has contributed to a fully hotel booking in the city, due to its both national and international attendance, which created business for the city of Barcelona in all industries: restaurants, commerce, leisure, etc. • Third, the high design and quality level of the stands, being the Exhibition with highest investment in stand construction. • Fourth, the great level of parallel activities and events organized around BMP 2005 (more than a hundred). • Fifth, its international profile with 40% of the occupancy being international companies in the Professional Show. • Sixth, the large attendance of local, autonomic and state professionals and institutions, national and international. One more year, Portugal has been the first country, followed by Poland, the USA and the UK. • Seventh, the incorporation of new countries and companies of those ones, such as Greece, Ukraine, Turkey, Dubai, Romania, Estonia, Lithuania, Dominican Republic and Panama.

Mr. Enrique Lacalle would like to highlight that “BARCELONA MEETING POINT IS THE SHOW OF THE DREAMS”, since buying an apartment is one of the main events in the life of a family. El Consorcio de la Zona Franca de Barcelona—whose Executive President is Manuel Royes, President of B.M.P.S.A and Special Delegate of the State at the CZFB—actually organizes the three Meeting Point real estate shows as well as the International Logistics Show and BCN Futur, that will take place on November 24th - 27th. “There is no doubt the Consorcio’s contribution to the Fira and to Barcelona has been decisive in these last years, with two number one shows, Barcelona Meeting Point, the first one in Europe, and the International Logistics Show, the second one in Europe, plus the new show BCN Futur, all of them generate a lot of wealth and international projection for the city”, has said Manuel Royes. Enrique Lacalle has announced the preparation of two new shows, the East Meeting Point in Warsaw for the Eastern Europe countries and the Lisbon Meeting Point in Lisbon, devoted to Residential Tourism and Hotels, two new international Meeting Points organized by BMP, both with total collaboration of Warsaw and Lisbon and also requested by them. The Chairman of the Organizing Committee of Barcelona Meeting Point is sorry that a Show that generates knowledge, business, exchange deals and richness for Spain and that in nine years has become an international point of reference, admired, respected and copied, creates, as a result of a lack of knowledge and a badly understood partisanship, some comments completely away from reality. It is very easy to criticize without a basis but the strength of the facts is irrefutable. Finally, the Chairman of the Organizing Committee of BMP thanks all the authorities, national and international associations that collaborate with the Symposium, speakers, sponsors and very specially to the main ones, La Caixa La Vanguardia, La Razón, Cinco Días and TV3, exhibitors, national and international participants, media and the City of Barcelona for theircollaboration and enthusiastic participation, that has made this 9th edition of the International Real Estate Show and Symposium be possible, that will keep on growing next year. |
