VIETBUILD Home, the annual exhibition on housing, home decoration and household appliances, will be held at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre from December 15 to 19, enabling people to shop for the New Year holidays.

Nearly 450 exhibitors from 12 countries and territories, including South Korea, Japan, Singapore, China, the US, India, Germany and Viet Nam will set up 1,500 booths, an increase of 30 per cent from last year.

They will showcase new products related to construction, intelligent housing systems, and interior and exterior decoration besides household equipment like air conditioners, kitchen utensils and more.

Property transaction floors will introduce housing for low-income earners together with incentives.

Nguyen Tran Nam, chairman of the Viet Nam Real Estate Association and head of the organisation board, said the demand for interior and exterior furnishings usually increases at the year-end as people renovate their homes to welcome Tet, the Lunar New Year.

The event is therefore well-timed for companies to market their products and consumers to look for home decor, he added.

The exhibition will also serve as a forum for local and international businesses to meet and discuss co-operation. — VNS
