History
The World Fishing Exhibition has its own history. Celebrated for the first time in 1963 in the United Kingdom as a biannual event, the first four shows were held at the famous Earl’s Court and Olympia Hall. After the 5th exhibition, the show went on the road to other countries and in 1971 took place at The Royal Dublin Society were it was organized by the Irish Government. The sixth edition, which was the first in Spain, was held in Vigo in 1973. Thereafter it travelled to Marseille, Halifax and Copenhagen.
From 1963 to 2003 the World Fishing Exhibition increased in both size and significance. Each show increased number of companies showing as well as for the amount of international visitors it received.
