Taipei World Trade Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taipei World Trade Center, TWTC, was started in January, 1986 by Taiwan's foremost trade promotion organization, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), to provide a single, modern venue that would combine exhibition space, conference facilities, offices, and hotel accommodation for international business. TWTC combines every possible service that brings together a vast consulting service on trade-related issues, trading partners, suppliers, and markets. This four-in-one complex, located in the city's Xinyi District, is designed to accommodate the needs of the international business community, which is why there is not just one, but four structures at the TWTC. The Exhibition Hall, International Convention Center, International Trade Building and Grand Hyatt Taipei, all comprise one integrated business complex.
Origin of Establishment
At 1970 July 1st, to further develop Taiwan international trade activities, Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) were established as the economic growth were growing fast. At that time, TAITRA does not have a specialized exhibition hall to accommodate marketplace exhibition of export goods, and in 1974 March, Taipei Grand Hotel were the first to be chosen for the first ever Taipei Trade Shows - "Taiwan Export Clothings Exhibition". After that, a TAITRA exhibition hall were set up at Taipei Songshan Airport, and it was from that time on, TAITRA displayed a weakness on the capability of larger scale exhibitions. Due to these reasons, new building of trade center was proposed, and due to much complications, it was only completed on 1985, finally settles out the problem insufficient trade showground. At 1985 December 31, Taipei World Trade Center has its first exhibition for IT Month, and commemorates the opening of the Exhibition Hall as well. Followed suit, the International Tourist Hotel (completed on 1987, and now Grand Hyatt Taipei), International Trade Building (completed on 1988), International Convention Center (completed on 1989, now as TICC) were open for use one after another, and from 1990 January 8 since, Taipei World Trade Center is compromised of four-in-one complex until this day.
