76th Frankfurt Book Fair resumes: figures remain to grow

The 76th Frankfurt Book Fair continued the growth trend of previous years. With 115,000 trade visitors (previous year: 105,000) from 153 countries (previous year: 130 countries) and 115,000 private visitors (previous year: 110,000), it grew both as an international business fair for the publishing and media industry and as a festival of reading - despite limited ticket allotments for the two weekend days.

International guests

More than 4,300 exhibitors (previous year: 4,100) presented themselves in the halls. The Literary Agents & Scouts Centre (LitAg), which was booked out early, and the Publishers Rights Centre (PRC), which was also in high demand, once again reported record occupancy with a total of 593 tables. With rights traders from a total of 355 agencies and publishers and 38,000 entries, the two working centers for international rights trading were busier than ever before. More than 7,500 media representatives (previous year: 7,000) reported on the more than 3,300 events on the trade and public days.
