Due to the travel limitation caused by the COVID-19, Mr. Wang expressed his excitement at receiving the award through remarks made in a recorded video, further promoting Taiwan as the best destination for MICE events.<\/p>\nEach year, IAEE recognizes and awards professionals in the exhibition and event industry for their outstanding contributions. Wang\u2019s extensive experience and \u00a0\u00a0 prominent performance earned unanimous praise from the IAEE Awards Committee. Foremost among his accomplishments are:<\/p>\n \n- Directing 30 international trade shows organized by TAITRA annually including the iconic world-leading COMPUTEX TAIPEI<\/li>\n
- The world\u2019s second most important trade show for bicycles, TAIPEI CYCLE<\/li>\n
- Other internationally important trade shows such as TIMTOS and TAIPEI AMPA<\/li>\n
- Supervising the management of TAITRA\u2019s main facilities including the Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1, Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Halls 1 and 2, and the Taipei International Convention Center.<\/li>\n
- He is also the only person concurrently representing Taiwan at the Board Member of the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What\u2019s more, Wang acts as the Project Director of Taiwan\u2019s MICE Promotion Program \u2013 MEET TAIWAN, a program entrusted to TAITRA by the Bureau of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Economic Affairs, which was awarded The Best Convention & Exhibition Bureau of TTG Travel Awards in 2019 and Most Innovative Destination Marketing of M&C Asia\u2019s Stella Awards.<\/p>\n Witnessing a stunning 68% drop in revenue in the global exhibition industry, Wang further indicated that it is the toughest time ever for the exhibition industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the 17th<\/sup> edition of the Trade Fair Industry in Asia Report published by UFI, Asia recorded a shocking 63% drop in net exhibition space sold in 2020 compared to 2019. Taiwan\u2019s overall exhibition space sold in 2020 was 153,000 square meters, rising one slot to 5th<\/sup> among the 17 countries\/regions, with China, India, South Korea and Japan ranked first to fourth respectively.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup><\/p>\nIn addition, the report suggested that with border control, a new variant of coronavirus, and that Taiwan\u2019s exhibition industry is highly driven by export-oriented events, 2022 will still be a year of severe challenges for Taiwan.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, Wang pointed out that there are still some enterprises showing growth against the pandemic and hopes that Taiwan MICE industry will stay together to overcome the difficulties. TAITRA will continue to cooperate with the government measures to help Taiwan enterprises to expand their business in the global market by accelerating the digital upgrading of the industry and providing comprehensive services integrating digital technology and tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u3010\u81fa\u5317\u8a0a\u3011\u5168\u7403\u6703\u5c55\u696d\u5177\u5f71\u97ff\u529b\u7684\u7d44\u7e54\u2013\u570b\u969b\u5c55\u89bd\u6d3b\u52d5\u5354\u6703(Int… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":139282,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[43],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-139280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance","tag-covid-19"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tnr.com.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tnr.com.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tnr.com.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tnr.com.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tnr.com.tw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=139280"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/tnr.com.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139280\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":139286,"href":"https:\/\/tnr.com.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139280\/revisions\/139286"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tnr.com.tw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/139282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tnr.com.tw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=139280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tnr.com.tw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=139280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tnr.com.tw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=139280"},{"taxonomy":"post_folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tnr.com.tw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpost_folder&post=139280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} |
