Rooms for Toronto show not sold out

Michael J. Knell -- Furniture Today, October 5, 2009

Montreal — A Nevada-based travel agency has been bombarding Canadian Home Furnishings Market exhibitors with false claims that the Toronto-based event has run out of hotel rooms.

In response, the Quebec Furniture Manufacturers Assn. is advising exhibitors and attendees to ignore these calls.

In a note to exhibitors, the QFMA said that a company called Convention Expo Travel, based in Henderson, Nev., has been contacting exhibitors claiming it officially represents the market, which is set for Jan. 9–12.

"Please be aware that this company is making calls under false pretenses claiming they represent housing for TCHFM," the association says. "They will state that the conference has run out of rooms. Please be aware that this is not true and that Convention Expo Travel is in no way affiliated with the TCHFM…. They are not the official travel agent for the event," the association added.

Exhibitors and other attendees should visit the market's Web site at www.tchfm.com for information about official market hotels and discounted rates.
