Greeting

hello?

The 21st Busan International Food Expowill be held at BEXCO from October 4th to 6th this year.
This expo will be a festival to introduce Busan’s culinary culture with a special theme of “Chef’s Feast.”

Busan is a city that has historically embraced diverse cultures, and its food has also been a fusion of diverse traditions and modernity. This expo aims to provide an opportunity to experience Busan’s unique culinary culture.

This year marks the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Busan and Italy, anda special Busan-Italy 140th Anniversary Pavilion has been created, along with various programs such as the Spanish Embassy booth in Korea and the Korea -ASEAN Pavilion where you can taste and experience the food and culture of the 10 ASEAN countries.

In particular, this expo will go beyond a simple exhibition and provide a richer experience with programs and side events such as cooking classes where participants can directly participate in the cooking process, special demonstrations by Michelin Guide chefs, temple food cooking demonstrations, and programs introducing hidden restaurants in Busan, Busan's excellent food, and B-FOOD (Busan food) recipes.

We ask for your interest and support for this expo, which will provide a more diverse and in-depth culinary experience to domestic and international visitors to Busan. We hope that the food and culture that come together will be a precious time that will remain in your memories for a long time.

We hope you will create happy memories while enjoying the flavors and aromas of Busan and cuisines from around the world all in one place.
Thank you.

Busan Metropolitan City Mayor Park Hyung-jun
