Bijoux
As the world is poised to recover from the worst economic turmoil in decades, the demand for good value, excellently designed and environmentally conscious accessories is expected to increase exponentially.
Of course, the fact that this is the only show in the world that is held in an internationally renowned 5-star resort where you can get out of bed, have a quick dip in the powder white sand beach then walk to the exhibits in 5 minutes is a plus. So save the dates and get ready for what is indeed a trade show like no other.
