Statistics FIRESMethodological note
Definition of concepts
- Trade fair
- Periodical activity mainly addressed at a professional audience. Orders and sales and purchase contracts can be made, but not direct sales involving withdrawal of merchandise during the period of the fair. If the periodical activity is addressed at the general public and occasionally allows direct sales involving the withdrawal of merchandise, it is called a market (or consumer) fair. If the exhibited offer represents different sectors it is called a multi-sector fair. If the exhibited offer represents a single sector it is called a monographic fair or showroom. If the fair does not take place on a regular basis, it is called an exhibition or display.
Methodological aspects
Also included is data on county fairs and fairs and trade shows on a state or international level. The geographical classification is established depending on whether the origin of the exhibitors represents more than 20% of the total.
Current Territorial Distribution
At present, Catalonia is divided into 41 counties, 1 singular territorial entity (Aran) and 8 areas of the Territorial Plan, according to the latest territorial changes, which affect the areas of El Penedès and the Central Counties, Aran and El Moianès.
