2013 AMERICANA  – a look back at the best AMERICANA so far

In 2013, 45,000 visitors came to see Europe’s most popular event for Western fans and world-class sport in 42 categories, among them the FEI European Championship Reining. This meant excellent business opportunities for the 282 exhibitors: two-thirds of the companies present said that business had been very good or good, 26 percent said that they were content with their sale numbers. *

“It was sensational,“ said project manager Karlheinz Knöbl. “Many exhibitors had never experienced so many visitors before. Some of them were sold out long before AMERICANA was over. Many of them wanted to confirm their participation at the 2015 AMERICANA right then.”
