According to the official, over 2,700 booths will be set up by around 700 foreign and domestic companies during the exhibition, which will run through March 16. The number of booths represents an 18 percent increase over the previous year’s figure.

Foreign exhibitors from 30 countries and areas, including the United States, Italy, Japan, Hong Kong, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland and the United Kingdom, and major domestic bike makers, such as Giant, Merida, Ideal and Kenda, will be showcasing their latest products, the official said.

The official further said the bicycle show — the largest in Asia and the third largest in the world — is expected to attract around 50,000 local and foreign visitors and buyers.

TAITRA, the organizers of the event, will rent 69 shuttle buses to take both visitors and buyers from the MRT Kunyang Station and the TWTC Exhibition Hall One to the Nangang Exhibition Hall.

Following the inaugural show,there will be international exhibitions showcasing auto parts and accessories,information technology, and food in April and June.

In view of the fact that Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong have all built large exhibition halls, the Ministry of Economic Affairs began to plan for the Nangang Exhibition Hall in 2003 and completed its construction at the end of last August.
