We can describe the entertainment industry in Asia as the new rising star. As spring comes, ignoring the naughty weather sometimes visiting Tokyo, Taipei, Shanghai, Seoul, we can say the whole of Asia is ready to welcome a warm and flowery season ahead. The entertainment industry in Asia meets its spring as well at the fresh beginning of the New Year. There’s Japan’s law to legalize casinos, South Korea is going to open its first casino & resort in Yeongjongdo, Inchon this April, Macau and the Philippines are to add new casinos & resorts, China has enacted a two-child policy and ASEAN countries have become more hungry for entertainment and leisure industry, marking the strong market potential in Asia. Asia once again is raising an Asian Strom globally! In recent years, more and more professional expos are being held in Asia, reflecting the fast and steady industry growth. The first expo to shock and inspire visitors should be GTI Asia Taipei Expo held from May 11 to 13 at Taipei World Trade Center. The exhibition with its 24 years’ history features high quality Made in Taiwan (MIT) products with quite a bit new exhibitors bringing all kinds of new products like mobile games, VR, crane machines, AWPs and slots among others.
