The art car exhibition and road tour will run from November 13-17, coinciding with the 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Week. The art car exhibition will be held at Fisherman Wharf's Pier 39, a major landmark and popular tourist destination in San Francisco.
The art cars will also take a thrilling tour through San Francisco's main thoroughfares, particularly near the main venue of 2023 APEC Economic Leaders' Week. This will allow visiting global leaders as well as tourists and residents to become familiar with the beauty of Busan's culture and the city's readiness to host the 2030 World Expo.
To highlight Busan as the ideal host city, the Group has generated over 90 innovative content pieces, including social media-friendly short-form movies and infographics, as part of its efforts to garner global support for Busan's bid to host the 2030 World Expo. In particular, the Group's promotional film 'Busan Initiative with the Whole World' topped 100 million views in just 17 days following its publication last month, solidifying Busan's strong determination to be the host city.
