Europe’s largest aquatic-only trade event will go ahead as planned on October 13 and 14 this year. The show organizers have told Reef Builders that the biennial event held in Telford, UK willnow happen due to government lockdown restrictions easing and permitting such events after May 17.
Organizer Gordon Thomas said: “Already we have seen a good uptake in stand bookings from leading companies, and we’ll be working hard over the coming months to ensure the aquatics and water gardening industry can re-unite in the best possible way after such a challenging period.”
尽管全球流行病发生了悲剧，但在过去的12个月中，英国水生和水园艺部门受到了推动，因为人们被阻止人们进行许多活动并被告知待在家里。一位行业消息人士告诉我们，由于旅行禁令，2020年的不合时宜的天气，英国的水上市场上涨了50％，人们在考尔维德危机期间转向宠物，爱好和花园。
英国的锁定规则也被认为是水生商店由于他们出售了宠物食品，因此作为必不可少的零售商。他们是允许在整个大流行中继续进行交易的少数企业中的一些。
AQUA was launched at Telford International Centre in 2010 after a group of key companies got together with Impact Exhibitions and Events (Gordon Thomas) and agreed the industry should have its own show run in association with the Ornamental Aquatic Trade Association.
这是英国水上行业日历中最重要的事件，也吸引了来自海外的游客和参展商。
该节目在2011年再次举行，然后成为两年一次的演出。今年的活动将是第七届水上。最后一场演出 - 2019年Aqua - 在两天内吸引了1502个贸易访客，其中80多家水上公司展出。Aqua由OATA Impact展览有限公司组织。
