Inter-tabac to be postponed

Messe Westfalenhallen Dortmund has decided to postpone its Inter-tabac Asia trade fair, originally scheduled for Feb. 27-28 in Bali, Indonesia.

The company insists it had obtained the required permits for the event, pursuant to the provisions of the Indonesian Ministry of Industry and Trade, which regulates international fairs and conferences in the country.

Despite this, Bali police instructed Messe Westfalenhallen Dortmund that Inter-tabac Asia could not proceed as planned. The notice came less than a week before the event’s scheduled start.

Messe Westfalenhallen’s attempts to resolve the matter were unsuccessful. The firm is currently seeking a new venue for Inter-tabac Asia.
