The day allocated for ladies only is 3 September 2006. For families, its 5 September 2006 only.

"ATF is a brisk shopping opportunity for shoppers which can give them a choice of worldwide shopping under one roof. Some people call it a mysterious shopping complex, as shoppers coming at the exhibition do not know for themselves the surprises waiting for them", said the Project Sales Co-ordinator of OITE, Mr. Hassan Mohammed. He further added, "ATF is just the place where shoppers will get the worth of what they spend and that's the reason we have never compromised on the quality of the show."

When the Director - Sales & Marketing of OITE, Mr. Sadiq Ahmed Khan was questioned on the attendees at ATF, he said, "Attendees at ATF have a powerful impact of products especially the quality and the diverse collection. The attendees want to attend the expo more then once. They definitely have a satisfying experience."
