The exhibition is no longer simply a heritage event.

Its figures show that it is evolving into a market for heritage, hobbies, tourism, and experiences, bringing together tradition, commercial products, and entertainment while giving falconry a space that extends beyond display into a broader economic ecosystem.

That is the strength of the event: preserving heritage while giving it a new life within a modern marketplace.
