45,000 visitors expected for 2008 property exhibitions

KUALA LUMPUR: Exhibition Guide (M) Sdn Bhd is targeting at least 35,000 and 10,000 visitors at its inaugural Super Home Ideas Exhibition and Malaysia International Luxury Properties Exhibition respectively in 2008 that will feature the latest trends in home property living and future perspective of properties development.

The Super Home Ideas Exhibition will be held from Jan 21 to 24 in Mid Valley Megamall and its international luxury properties exhibition from March 21 to 23 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

Exhibition Guide’s managing director Moey Sai Yee said its exhibitions were aimed at foreign investors and expatriates who were keen to settle down here and wanted high-end luxury properties.

“We find many expatriates have settled down here because of education, tourism, the Malaysia My Second Home Programme (MM2H) and also the affordable luxurious lifestyle they can enjoy here,” Moey told reporters after the launch of its exhibition logo by Tourism Malaysia director-general Datuk Mirza Mohammad Taiyab.

“In this region, apart from Malaysia, you will not be able to find or afford high-class living even in Thailand or Singapore. In fact, developers in Bali are selling these properties for above RM10 million,” Moey added.

Meanwhile, Mirza said the country’s global ranking at 32nd position for international exhibitions and conventions needed to be improved by organising more seminars and exhibitions.
