First, they evaluated the importance of 32 attributes of tourist destinations to host trade fairs and, subsequently, indicated how well the attributes of São Paulo met these expectations. The findings revealed that for São Paulo to attract more trade fairs in the future, it must undertake actions to bring down costs, expand health protocols and improve public safety.
