The International Convention Center Tainan is set to open within 1H 2022.
Taiwan is setting its sights on attracting major events, with the Ministry of Economic Affairs planning on opening three major national convention centres in Northern, Central, and Southern Taiwan.
At present, the majority of Taiwan’s bigger event spaces are located in Taipei and Kaohsiung, but with these new ones in the pipeline, the development of the MICE industry will be boosted throughout the country, opening up opportunities to increase exports, domestic demand and tourism. It will also help to ease pressure on the event spaces in Taipei and Kaohsiung.
Taiwan's Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT) of the MOEA worked with local governments of large metropolises in other regions to plan construction of three major national convention centres.
International Convention Center Tainan: With work on the venue having mostly been completed, it is slated to open in the first half of this year, although a precise date has yet to be given. The venue is located in Tainan City's High Speed Rail Industrial Zone and features 600 standard-sized booths and offers 11 conference rooms of various sizes.
Taoyuan Convention & Exhibition Center: The first international conference center in Taoyuan is expected to open in May 2023, although construction on the building’s exhibition halls is likely to be completed this October as a priority. The building, which has seven floors above ground and one underground, has excellent transport links. It is located next to the A19 Station of the Taoyuan Airport MRT in the Qingpu area of Zhongli and is also close to Taoyuan International Airport, making it easily accessible and ideal for international conferences. The Center will become the only multi-functional exhibition hall in the city with space for more than 600 booths that can accommodate medium-sized international exhibitions and offer high-quality conference functions.
Taichung International Convention & Exhibition Center: Construction on this was delayed to the Covid-19 pandemic and at present, no dates have yet been given regarding the work.
