ABOUT HOTEL ASIA EXHIBITION & INTERNATIONAL CULINARY CHALLENGE 2025
First launched in the year 2000 with just 42 stalls and 37 chefs, the exhibition has grown in both scale and stature. From its humble beginnings, it has blossomed into a world-class platform for hospitality brands to connect, collaborate, and showcase their offerings. After being held biennially in its early years, it transitioned to an annual event in 2008, consistently serving as a bellwether for industry trends and business development in the region.
