Industry expo on beauty, health and wellness fuel collaboration in preparation for ASEAN integration
Sunday, September 01, 2013
As the Association of South East Asian Nations
(ASEAN) prepare for full integration by 2015 under a single ASEAN Economic
Community (AEC), which is one of the main objectives of the region’s economic
integration, a key challenge is to find balance with regard to coherence and
cooperation among member-countries.
However, the emergence of many relevant
industry expos and conferences, particularly in the beauty, health and wellness
sectors, is seen as the key ingredient in providing that balance and more
importantly, make the planned integration a seamless and thorough activity.
This collaborative economic environment among
nations of varying race and cultures will be unmistakably evident in a
one-of-a-kind event called “International
Beauty, Health and Wellness Expo,” which
will be held on September 26-28, 2013 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay
City, Philippines.
For one, it will be a great platform for local
players to finally hit the international expo scene where they can showcase and
highlight their readiness to be globally competitive, with products and
services ready to appeal to the global market—or at least on the ASEAN level,
initially.
On the other hand, the expo can provide the
perfect opportunity for international companies to gain a foothold in the local
market by partnering with Philippine firms they can rely on as part of their
expansion efforts and growth of their business in the country. This is good
news for the local economy, for these possible economic linkages between local
and international firms spell good things for players in the beauty, health and
wellness industry and also the overall medical tourism in the country.
The “International
Beauty, Health and Wellness Expo,” organized by Ex-Link Management and
Marketing Services Corporation, is expected to attract more than 10,000 buyers/
trade visitors from here and abroad, and participated in by
more than 200 of the country’s established and up-and-coming movers and shakers
in the Health and Beauty, Fitness and Style, and Wellness and Relaxation
circles. It will be the perfect avenue for sponsors and participants to meet,
converge, exchange ideas and knowledge, establish market linkages, collaborate
and agree on mutually beneficial transactions with the hope of growing the the
industry further and make it one of the strongest business sectors in the
region.
“A key objective of the single ASEAN
community, under the Initiative for ASEAN Integration or ‘IAI,’ is to narrow
the development divide between countries in the region and enhance ASEAN’s
competitiveness as a region. Through this expo, we envision the participants
working together to help find ways of strengthening areas of collaboration to
grow their respective businesses and at the same time, tap other economic
potentials that will help the health, beauty and wellness industries flourish
even more in this century,” explains Mitch Ballesteros, Chief Executive
Officer of Ex-Link Events.
