Thailand is competing to sponsor the 2029 International Horticultural Expo with the intention of welcoming up to 4 million tourists for the four-month function.
According to Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Kanchana Patarachoke on Saturday, the government has suggested hosting the 25th model of the international event with Nakhon Ratchasima as the location and times of Nov. 10, 2029 to February 28, 2030.
Given a successful bid, the fair, dubbed” Korat Expo 2029,” would address issues like the delicate balance between human development and environmental protection, green group, sustainable food production, links between nature, culture, and people’s lives, and development of agricultural and food production.
Nakhon Ratchasima, according to Ms. Kanchana, has a great potential as a MICE number city because it is one of the country’s agricultural centers.
Because of its three distinct geological history places: Sakae Rat Biosphere Reserve, Dong Phaya Yen Forest, and Korat Geopark, it is also regarded by Unesco as a Triple Crown City.
The exhibition is anticipated to have between 2.6 and 4 million readers.
The International Horticultural Congress will hold a public meeting in Doha, Qatar, on March 3 through March 7.
The 2029 fair sponsor may be chosen by 32 member countries during the meeting through a voting process.
Thailand is currently the only member with a listed name. There is no assurance of involuntary selection, according to the Foreign Affairs Ministry spokeswoman, because it depends on whether the nation qualifies.
More than 36, 000 work and 18.9 billion ringgit of extra money may be created if chosen.
