<strong>Liechtenstein</strong> is Guest<br />
<strong>of</strong> Honour at OLMA 2016<br />
From 13 to 23 October 2016, <strong>Liechtenstein</strong> will be showcasing itself for <strong>the</strong><br />
fifth time as <strong>the</strong> Guest <strong>of</strong> Honour at OLMA, one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> biggest public and<br />
consumer goods fairs in Switzerland. <strong>The</strong> motto this year is <strong>the</strong> traditional<br />
dialect greeting “hoi metanand”, and aims to trigger positive associations<br />
and curiosity amongst visitors.<br />
“hoi metanand” – everyone who has ever been to <strong>Liechtenstein</strong> will have heard this traditional<br />
greeting at least once. It expresses <strong>the</strong> local population’s idiosyncratic closeness, openness and<br />
cordiality. And <strong>the</strong>se are precisely <strong>the</strong> qualities that <strong>Liechtenstein</strong>’s presence at OLMA is<br />
intended to highlight. <strong>The</strong> country aims to take visitors positively by surprise, and to remain in<br />
good and affectionate memory <strong>the</strong>reafter.<br />
Discover <strong>Liechtenstein</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> centrepiece <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> presence at OLMA is <strong>the</strong> 600 m 2 Special <strong>Liechtenstein</strong> Show. Over <strong>the</strong><br />
course <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ten-day event, visitors will have <strong>the</strong> opportunity to explore and discover<br />
<strong>Liechtenstein</strong> in all its facets, and to experience <strong>Liechtenstein</strong> directly. A particular emphasis<br />
will be on <strong>the</strong> good and long-standing relations between <strong>Liechtenstein</strong> and Switzerland.<br />
<strong>The</strong> highlight <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> OLMA event in St. Gallen will be <strong>the</strong> Guest <strong>of</strong> Honour Day on Saturday,<br />
15 October 2006. <strong>Liechtenstein</strong> associations will be using this opportunity to present <strong>the</strong><br />

around 1,000 <strong>Liechtenstein</strong> citizens will pass through <strong>the</strong> streets <strong>of</strong> St. Gallen’s city centre<br />
in a cheerful procession. In <strong>the</strong> afternoon, <strong>Liechtenstein</strong> citizens will be staging an arena<br />
programme on <strong>the</strong> OLMA site. This will <strong>the</strong>refore be <strong>the</strong> ideal day on which to experience<br />
<strong>Liechtenstein</strong> in person toge<strong>the</strong>r with family and friends. In 2016, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Principality</strong> will also<br />
be <strong>the</strong> centrepiece <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> popular OLMA animal show. This will present special aspects<br />
and achievements <strong>of</strong> livestock breeding in <strong>Liechtenstein</strong>. So don’t miss OLMA!<br />
