Taipei International Flora Expo

Internationally there are two types of exposition certification systems, the "Bureau of International Expositions" (BIE) and "The International Association of Horticultural Producers" (AIPH). AIPH currently has 33 memberships spread across 25 countries. AIPH certified International horticultural expositions are considered to be representation of the highest qualified standards available while displaying the horticultural, technology and cultural achievements of the host country.   


The Taipei City Government together with Taiwan Floriculture Development Association held a spring conference with The International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) in April, 2006 and proposed the desire to conduct an A2/B1 grade international horticultural exposition to highlight Taiwan's horticultural renowned achievements. The proposal was approved after careful examinations by AIPH and transmitted their approval in November, 2006. The 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition will be the first international certified standard exposition that Taiwan has ever held. Taipei will also be the 7th AIPH certified exposition conducted within Asia. It is estimated that the 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition will attract approximately 8,000,000 visitors both domestic and international, not only boosting the growth of Taiwan's tourism industry and horticultural growth but also stimulating foreign affairs and promoting the image of Taiwan.   


In the eyes of those who take pleasure in the beauty of Mother Earths' creations, these flora and horticultural expositions are carnivals of joy and delights. As we march into an industrialized society, green trees and natural habitats are diminishing in our living space. The foundation of floral exposition shows how people crave for a green space. This exhibition also shows how people in the new era care about the environment and eco-system.

This will be Taiwan horticultural industry's first time performing as the lead on the world stage.   The difference in previous expositions held at Kunming, Lake Hamana and Chiang Mai City, this particular international standard exposition will be conducted in parks and riverside areas, which have been outfitted with waterfront entrances, are reflections of Taipei city resident's longing for green lands. The planning and structure of all exposition grounds have been incorporated along the concept of a modern city life with an adventurous approach, welcoming the world to experience a unique Taipei City. The progress of development has gradually converted the inverse relationship between mankind and nature into a symbiosis between civilization and nature. The basic design concept of 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition was based on the symbiosis theory mentioned previously which merges humanity's basic needs in the desire to pursue happiness and extends the boundary of imagination thus creating a future full of countless possibilities.
