The pool market in Italy continues to register a positive growth trend with an increase of 13,000 new realizations a year. Particularly strong in the sector are out-of-the-ground pools which have doubled in only two years, passing from 20 thousand to 40 thousand units. Contributing to the vitality of the sector are the recent simplifications of bureaucratic procedures to obtain permits for construction.For information:Editrice Il Campo – Piscine Oggi Magazine tel. +39.051.25.55.44 fax +39.25.53.60 www.ncforum.com – forum@ilcampo.it - customer@ilcampo.it

    This would be fun!
    I would think the knowledge gained by visiting these overseas shows would be amazing, not just the different products and methods but the personalities and culture differences. I have always wanted to visit some of these shows, and maybe I will one of these years. Thanks for the updates.

      I agree Justin, and thanks for your note. I also want to point out they focus on wellness, health benefit issues as well - including researchers. Laurie
