Today, the most renowned and internationally known urban planning, architecture and interior design firms accommodate nearly 60 to 70% of the projects in Asia. As a result, the largest design market is located in Asia. In spite of the vast number for Asia’s hospitality design markets, there are no design centers related to hospitality expos, trade shows, and conferences, similar to the Chicago Merchandise Mart’s yearly program. As of now, this service is not provided in any Asian countries.

In order to solve this problem, we researched the hospitality design industry in the Asian market and determined Guri City to be the ideal location. Minutes from Seoul there is located approximately 1000 acres of prime development land along the Han River. This area has been, and is currently under a zoning that has not allowed any type of building and land development. Viva Vina and its partners are currently working with the South Korean Federal Government to re-zone this area for development.
