RX (Reed Exhibitions) has announced that in-cosmetics Global and in-cosmetics Asia are being postponed as a result of ongoing pandemic-related travel restrictions.
The rescheduled dates for in-cosmetics Global will be 5-7 April 2022 in Paris, and in-cosmetics Asia will now take place on 1-3 November 2022 in Bangkok. in-cosmetics Latin America, which was planned to take place in São Paulo, Brazil, 22-23 September 2021, will now move to 10-11 November 2021.
Roziani Zulkifli (pictured), exhibition director of in-cosmetics Global, said: “Despite live events now taking place, we have to consider the international nature of in-cosmetics Global. We have seen positive signs over the last few months with successes in the vaccination programme roll out, but new variants have created increased uncertainties and steady progress is not the case everywhere. We have been in continuous contact with both exhibitors and visitors, and it is clear the level of confidence to travel and attend large-scale international B2B exhibitions in the cosmetics industry is not there yet.”
Sarah Gibson, exhibition director of in-cosmetics Asia, added: “Thailand’s Covid cases are on the rise with Bangkok and neighbouring provinces placed in the dark red zone of maximum restrictions to curb the spread of infection. The new Delta variant cases are increasing across Asia with widespread travel bans and further tightening of government movement measures. We believe that the most responsible decision at this stage is to allow time for Thailand and the ASEAN region to recover, and when safe, re-unite the Asia cosmetics community in 2022.”
Daniel Zanetti, exhibition director at in-cosmetics Latin America, commented: “After monitoring the coronavirus situation in Brazil, we’ve decided to postpone our Latin America show to November, which will give the country’s vaccination programme a further seven weeks to boost immunity.”
