Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show reported to be a huge success

Despite stormy weather, February's Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show was reported to be a huge success, welcoming 89,377 visitors across the six-day show. 

Jenny Summers, NCC Events Marketing Director, said: “We were delighted with the visitor numbers and the quality of the show experience, created by our exhibitors in 2020. This spring event is designed to bring new people into our industry and give a taste of the outdoor lifestyle from all parts of the industry. We had both Channel 5 and BBC Radio 4 at the show, as well as brilliant support from the local media despite the weather in the region creating issues for many.”

Motorhome and campervan sales seem to have been particularly buoyant, with manufacturers reporting encouraging results. Alexander Wehrmann, Director of Marketing and PR at Carthargo, said: “After exhibiting at the NEC in February for eight years in a row, this was our most successful trade fair to date. We have achieved growth for both brands and our new models have received a lot of attention. This result shows that the Carthago-Malibu Group remains strong in times of economic uncertainty.”

Adrian Cross, Director of Hillside Leisure, added: “After a mild start, this show ended as our best February show to date and we ended 7 per cent up on our previous best for the February show.”
