InterTabac, an international tobacco trade fair, has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, organizers announced.
The show was scheduled to take place in September in Dortmund, Germany. It has been tentatively rescheduled for September 15-17, 2022.
“Working closely with the industry associations and partner associations, the conceptual sponsors, the advisory board and the exhibitors of the twin fairs, it has become clear that the vast majority is against holding the events this September, as previously announced,” Sabine Loos, managing director of the Westfalenhallen Unternehmensgruppe, said in a statement.
