Scheduled for 13-16 February 2017, the sixth International Diamond Week in Israel (IDWI) has received record registration rate, said organiser Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE) yesterday. The number of registered buyers is expected to exceed previous attendance records by several hundreds, IDE expects.
Haim Volner, chairman of the IDWI organising committee, said that registered buyers are from over 20 countries, including the United States, U.K., Germany, China and India. “Most of those registered have come through social media, where we have conducted a very active campaign. A high percentage are repeat attendees, but we are seeing a great deal of new buyers, which is very encouraging,” he said.
“This year we have added some very significant new features – international rough and polished diamond tenders, a rich social program, free sightseeing tours to Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. This is in addition to three free hotel nights,” he added.
The huge selection of polished and rough diamonds from hundreds of Israeli and international exhibitors is the main draw, according to Volner. (Photo courtesy: IDE)
