Attributes a specific dwell-time statistic (84 seconds in 2018 dropping to 51 seconds in 2024, a 'thirty-nine percent compression') to 'UFI's Global Visitor Insights Report 2024.' UFI's actual report in this area is titled 'Global Visitor and Exhibitor Insights,' not 'Global Visitor Insights Report,' and no such specific before/after dwell-time figures from UFI could be corroborated. This fits the site's recurring pattern of precise, unverifiable statistics dressed up as citations to real industry bodies. Claims the '2024 AUMA Trends report found that European exhibitors have reduced fair counts by an average of eighteen percent since 2019 while keeping aggregate spend roughly flat.' This contradicts the actual AUMA-Trends data, which shows the opposite direction: the trade fair share of marketing budgets rose from 38% (2022/23) to 45% (2023/24), and the share of exhibitors planning to increase fair participation rose (from about 15% to 21%) while flat-participation plans declined. The specific 18% figure and its direction do not match AUMA's published findings.
