Eruptia vulcanica din Islanda, aeroporturile inchise si zborurile anulate nu afecteaza doar pe cei din Europa ci si pe romanii din SUA, in special pe cei de la Chicago. La sfarsitul acestei saptamani urma sa aibe loc cel mai de amploare targ romanesc de turism si afaceri pe pamant american. Datorita faptului ca atat oamenii cat si produsele care trebuiau sa ajunga la show au ramas fie blocate pe drum, fie n-au putut pleca deloc din Romania, organizatorii au decis sa amane organizarea lui pana la o data care va fi stabilita ulterior.

Canalul CBS 2 news Chicago a prezentat un material legat de targul care ar fi trebuit sa aibe loc joi si vineri, si la care ar fi trebuit sa participe nu doar companii dar si invitati speciali din Romania .

The
terrible news that took front page in all European newspapers during the
last
week, pertaining to the Volcano in Iceland, has hit extremely hard the
American
Romanian Tourism and Trade Show (ARTTS) scheduled to take place this
week in
Chicago at Navy
Pier, on April 22nd and 23rd.
Over
twenty companies from Romania
scheduled to come at ARTTS and exhibit their
products and services have been forced to delay their arrival due to
impossibility of travel. Their products and display materials are
blocked in
Munich, Germany, with no chance to reach Chicago for at least another
week. All
Romanian officials that planned to come to ARTTS, senators and members
of the
Parliament, government representatives and the Secretary of State - head
of the
Department for the Romanians Abroad, have been told that their travel
arrangements are canceled for the time being as all flights over the
European
continent are canceled. Also, our special guests entertainers from
Romania can
not come for the same reason: no flights in or out of Romania.
Under
the circumstances, the organizers of ARTTS are being forced by evident
consequences caused by the Iceland's Volcano, to delay this very special
event.
In an
attempt to reschedule the event for another date sometime this year, we
are
currently renegotiating with the venue, City of Chicago's Navy Pier, as
well as
with the Romanian Government's representatives including the Ministry of
Economy
- Department of Foreign Commerce and of the Romanian Ministry of Tourism
and
Regional Development. As soon as a date is available we will be
communicating it
to you all. We apologize for this unforeseen inconvenience.
