As was previously announced at the closure of the World Fishing Exhibition Vigo 2009, the Organising Committee is studying the possibility of holding the exhibition at shorter intervals at the request of exhibiting companies. "The industry itself is rapidly evolving and there is a greater innovation capacity which both back the idea of holding the event more frequently" said the President of the Executive Committee, Alfonso Paz-Andrade who went on to say: "however the interval will not be too short" as the exhibition requires a great effort from visiting and exhibiting companies as well as the support of governmental organisations.
