BEXCO is both the starting point of a business trip in Busan and the heart of the HAEVENUE infrastructure. As Busan’s premier convention center, BEXCO has successfully hosted numerous major international events, including the 2005 APEC Summit and the 2019 ASEAN-ROK Commemorative Summit. Last year, BEXCO achieved a record by hosting approximately 1,100 events and exceeding a 60% utilization rate of its exhibition space. Depending on the purpose and format of the event, there is a diverse range of facilities to choose from, including 22 convention halls, 62 meeting rooms, and an auditorium with a capacity of 4,000 people. In addition, plans are underway to expand the center with a third exhibition hall. On the first floor of the BEXCO Auditorium, you will find the Busan MICE Information Center, in which MICE tourism information and business lounge services are offered. If you're nearby, don't miss the chance to check out BEXCO!

Shinsegae Department Store Centum City, the largest in the world, is the only department store in Korea that houses all three major fashion luxury brands as well as four major luxury jewelry brands. It has gained a stellar reputation among global shoppers as a mecca for shopping tourism. In addition to over 50 coffee shops and restaurants, cultural and entertainment facilities, it offers visitors a wide range of experiences, including an urban healing hot spring, Spa Land, and the children’s career experience center, KidZania, allowing guests to enjoy much more than just shopping.

Lotte Department Store Centum, which is evolving into a cultural complex by meeting the diverse needs of shoppers, is located right next to Shinsegae, making it easy to walk between the two venues. On the first floor, you can visit the Musee Grand Art, where you can view and purchase beautiful artwork. Lotte Cinema, featuring the premium Charlotte Theater screening room, is located on the eighth floor. Check out the department store’s schedule for pop-up stores if you would like to purchase limited-edition items and merchandise for a unique shopping experience.

The Busan Cinema Center, the main venue for Asia’s top film festival, the Busan International Film Festival, is located right across from the two shopping malls. In addition to hosting numerous film events, performances, and MICE activities, the center regularly screens rare and hard-to-find films outside of the festival period. It also frequently hosts guest visits (GV) featuring directors, actors, and critics. The Busan Cinema Center building’s unique deconstructive architecture is illuminated with LED panels at night, creating a cinematic nighttime scene that feels like something out of a movie.
