The 3-day Nordic Travel Fair 2012 was held in on 19th - 22nd. January in Helsinki. By the looks of it the event attracted masses of visitors. A lot of countries and cities were present and trying to convince the visitors why they were the best travel destination. Other exhibitors included big travel-agencies, airlines, hotels etc. Just walking by all stands probably took more than 2 hours - without stopping that is. The event markets itself as "the biggest travel fair in northern europe". No wonder even timetravelling was present..
