Geneva motor show postponed until 2022: organizers
GENEVA: Geneva's auto show was cancelled this year amid the coronavirus pandemic, and organisers said on Monday they were also scrapping the 2021 edition as the auto sector reels from the crisis.
The GIMS Foundation noted the auto sector was"currently facing a major crisis, and the exhibitors need time to be able to invest in the show." This year's edition was cancelled after Switzerland banned large gatherings before introducing stricter lockdown measures to fight the novel coronavirus.The wealthy Alpine nation has, like other European countries, lifted many of those measures, but still has restrictions on large gatherings.
The GIMS is the largest public event organised in Switzerland, and usually fills the Geneva region's coffers with around 200 million francs each year, the foundation pointed out.
