A noteworthy fact is that NOVELTY & PREMIUM GOODS EXPO that is focused on diverse products related to sales promotion, will be newly launched and concurrently held with ISOT. This newly designed exhibit area is synergistically attracting exhibitors with wide variety of product lines; therefore, the total number of exhibitors is expected to exceed the previous numbers and this tendency itself is symbolizing the tipping point of revitalizing Japanese market despite the "so-called" economic downturn. As well as exhibitors, Show Management has been receiving an increasing number of inquiries on a day-to-day basis from buyers & importers who are always seeking latest unique products especially from overseas. We believe that these positive reactions from both exhibitors & buyers will lead to the huge success of 20th anniversary of ISOT 2009.
