A success to be remembered for the sector, the public, the city and the Rimini riviera.

international profile on all fronts
Rimini, 13th May 2013 - 244,532 visitors (a 7% increase on 2012) with a great multitude of trade members, buyers and
presenters; a very large number of foreigners from 60 countries with massive participation from Russia, East Europe and
Turkey; 158 million contacts in the media (28% of whom were foreign); an extraordinary profile on the social networks:
from Facebook to Twitter and ShowOn.
A success that will go down in history for the 8th edition Rimini Fiera show dedicated to wellness, fitness and sport, which
brings together in one extraordinary event the worlds of physical energy and, with its optimism embraces and
overwhelms the entire area, from the coast to inland zones, passing through the city.
RIMINIWELLNESS 2013 was the expression of movement’s energy, social aggregation, unexpected flash mobs and
pure shared enjoyment, all favoured by the latest technologies.
Opened on 9th May with the participation of regional councillor Gian Carlo Muzzarelli, Rimini’s mayor Andrea Gnassi,
Rimini Fiera chairman Lorenzo Cagnoni, Claudia Gerini, Raffaele Paganini and Elisa Di Francisca, RIMINIWELLNESS
2013 ended yesterday, confirming its role as an all-round international trade fair.
With the patronage of the Emilia Romagna Region, Rimini Province and Municipality and with the media partnership of
QN/QS and M2O, totalled 400 exhibitors and partners, 15 halls, 96,000 square metres occupied indoors and 66,000
outdoors, over 1,500 hours of lessons, 600 presenters from all over the world, 46 stages and 70 conferences and study
meetings; plus dozens of events with a total of 20 km of coast “on the move” involved.
For Rimini Fiera chairman Lorenzo Cagnoni, ““RiminiWellness is an extraordinary show international combining business
with the numbers of an excellent tourist product. Here companies meet a qualified demand and visitors see first-hand the
global supply of the latest generation of wellness products and facilities. International participation, which we have been
targeting for several years with fine-tuned projects and investments, is greatly increasing and very satisfying.”
Addressing foreign markets, important projects have been announced for RiminiWellness 2014. A different Partner
Country will be proposed each year: in 2014 it will be Brazil – at the international expo with trade members, presenters
and institutions – who will have the opportunity of presenting itself to the RiminiWellness world, bearing in mind the sports
events that it is due to undertake as the key player: The 2014 Soccer World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games.
Also in 2014 the launch is ready for the Wellness Food section, one of the 6 cores of the huge show, with an in-depth
focus on balanced healthy eating, for sports and normal life.
