GAI Food & Beverage and Hospitality Expo 2023: The Culinary Event of Nepal

The GAI Food & Beverage and Hospitality Expo 2023 stands as a beacon in Nepal, illuminating the vast landscape of the nation's food, beverage, and hospitality sectors. As the sector witnesses unparalleled growth, this unique event ensures that industry stakeholders are positioned right at the epicenter of this evolution.

Emerging Trends in Nepal's F&B Sector:

Rapid Growth: With "party-palaces" surpassing expectations and an explosion of takeaway food outlets, street food vendors, and grocery stores, the culinary landscape of Nepal has changed drastically in recent decades.
Hotel Boom: Over the next few years, we're set to see the launch of more than 25 hotels ranging from 3 to 5 stars, underlining the tourism and hospitality growth.

F&B's Financial Impact:

Growth Statistics: Between 2006 and 2011, the food & beverage industry grew at a rate of 7.3%. Impressively, this growth outstripped the entire manufacturing industry.
FMCG Growth: Despite Nepal's overall economy growing at 3-4%, the FMCG industry flourished with a growth rate of 20%.
Trade Deficit: During 2017-2018, Nepal's trade deficit for food & beverage stood at Rs. 12,351 million.

Industry Structure:

Total Establishments: There are 25,500 establishments in the food and beverage sector.
- Food Production: 24,940 establishments
- Beverage Production: 560 establishments
Employment Statistics: A total of 93,806 professionals work in this sector.
- Food Production: 84,217 individuals

What’s New in GAI FBH 2023?

FBH Mobile App: This groundbreaking feature is designed to enhance the business visitor experience. It streamlines off-site and on-site promotion, while also simplifying data collection for exhibitors.

Expected Turnout:

GAI FBH 2023 anticipates attracting a whopping 30,000 visitors.
- Business Visitors: A significant chunk, about 15,000, will be business-centric, including hoteliers, restaurant owners, caterers, chefs, bartenders, and more.

What Awaits Visitors:

Larger Exhibitor Pool: With an increase of 25% from the previous year, attendees can interact with a diverse array of producers and suppliers.
Exhibition Highlights:
- Extensive Range: About 5,000 products and services on display.
- Participation: Over 200 companies will be showcasing their offerings across 150 booths spanning 1800 sq. meters.

- Promotions & More: Many exhibitors will roll out special promotional schemes, ensuring that visitors get the best deals.

Why GAI FBH 2023 Stands Out:

The GAI FBH Expo is more than just an event – it’s the epitome of live marketing. It offers an invaluable opportunity for businesses to engage with thousands of potential clients in just three days – an achievement that might take a full year otherwise. By demonstrating the power of live marketing, GAI FBH 2023 aims to set the benchmark for industry events in 2023 and beyond.

If you're looking to immerse yourself in Nepal's thriving food & beverage industry, the GAI Food & Beverage and Hospitality 2023 is the place to be. Engage, learn, taste, and network at this premier event.
