Decrease in Attendance: TPE24 Opens with Fewer Visitors

TPE24, the largest tobacco exhibition in North America, opened in Las Vegas with noticeably fewer attendees compared to previous years.

On January 31st, TPE24, the largest tobacco exhibition in North America, officially opened in Las Vegas. However, several exhibitors have expressed that compared to previous years' bustling first day, TPE24 noticeably had a reduced number of attendees.

A visitor compared TPE24 to previous editions and noted that it had the largest exhibition scale. However, the attendance on the opening day was even lower than the attendance on the last day of past editions.

According to the information received, the visitation process at TPE24 is more stringent compared to previous years, as attendees are now required to provide enterprise certification. This signifies that the current exhibition is not open to individual consumers. This particular measure has contributed to a decrease in the number of visitors.
