Binh Duong has recently held provincial 40-year socio-economic achievements exhibition, thus we had experiences in arrangement and preparation. In addition, this exhibition has been planed since early this year, thus has a long time for the preparation. However, there are difficulties, the number of visitors may be low, due to distant location. Thus, we have enhanced propaganda of the exhibition among the people; encourage in and outside the province to introduce and sell their products at the fair in order for people to be able to purchase high-quality products with low prices; the fair will also have cultural shows every night to serve visitors.

This is also a chance to accelerate international exchanges between sectors and localities nationwide for mutual development, competitiveness enhancement, socio-cultural development. Besides, the exhibition will be a destination for people to visit, entertain and buy products, meeting people’s need for cultural enjoyment.
