The board of the Israel Diamond Exchange (IDE) announced this week that registered and approved buyers participating in the winter edition of The International Diamond Week in Israel (IDWI), will be offered three free nights in one of the venue hotels of the event in the d iamond e xchange d istrict of Ramat Gan.
While buyers' registration for the event has already gone past the 300 mark, the IDE President and board decided to expand the event further and, with this incentive, boost the number of buyers arriving from abroad.
Newly elected IDE President Yoram Dvash said that he was responding to demand from the IDE membership to make the Winter Edition of the International Diamond Week in Israel (IDWI) the most successful ever .
"Our decision to grant registered and approved buyers three free hotel nights is the result of our members' enthusiasm and encouragement to make this Diamond Week as large as we possibly can," he said.
Moti Fluk, Head of the IDWI Organizing Committee, emphasized that the purpose of the IDWI is to enable as many members of the Israel Diamond Exchange as possible to participate in a low-cost, international trading platform and gain access to buyers they would otherwise not meet.
"We've re-arranged the exchange trading floor, which is the largest in the world, in such a way that many hundreds of traders can exhibit their goods, on countless, long rows of tables, creating an unsurpassed choice of goods for the attending buyers," Fluk explained.
IDE President Dvash added that the event brings attending buyers into direct contact with many small manufacturers and niche operators who do not frequent the international trade show circuit and therefore do not sell their goods directly to the market.
"The IDWI creates opportunities for both sides," he said "Attending buyers get access to a lot of fresh, first-hand goods at advantageous price levels," Dvash concluded.
