REAL FACILITY EXPO ASIA PACIFIC 2004

Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. and Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH have decided to cancel Real Facility Expo Asia Pacific 2004 and the co-located International Conference in Hong Kong.

In a statement released in June, Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. said the decision came after months of marketing efforts had come to no avail. They believed the concept of Facility Management was not as well perceived in Asia Pacific as they had predicted.
