DRT SHOW Taiwan Virtual Diving Expo Runs Hot from June 18 to 24
The annual highlight for divers everywhere — the "DRT SHOW Taiwan International Diving & Resort Tourism Exhibition" (hereafter DRT SHOW Taiwan Diving Expo) — will be held in virtual expo format from June 18 to 24. In addition to a dedicated Indonesia dive travel zone presented by the Indonesia Tourism Board, the online expo features seven themed pavilions covering dive equipment, dive courses, dive tourism, dive news, marine conservation, and an ocean culture marketplace, bringing together nearly 100 brands. All visitors can interact directly with exhibitors, explore collaboration opportunities, and network through the platform's online features.
The Ocean Stars UW Photo Gallery will also be showcased during the virtual expo. Sixty photographers have been selected from nearly 500 submitted works, and all shortlisted entries will compete for the "Best Popular Vote Award" throughout the expo period. The photographer voted into first place by visitors will receive a dive computer sponsored by ATMOS. Visitors who cast their votes will also be entered into a lucky draw for a chance to win beautiful ocean-themed creative gifts. This edition of the Ocean Stars gallery highlights the underwater beauty of Taiwan and its unique marine ecosystems — not to be missed.
The pandemic has not only widened the social distance between people, but has also dramatically increased the generation of single-use waste. DRT SHOW therefore hopes to use this year's expo to encourage more people to pay attention to these issues — and, while putting personal health and safety first, to continue practising waste reduction, reuse, and proper sorting. Throughout the expo, the initiative "PlasticFREE — We Are Taking Action" will be promoted through engaging activities designed to raise public awareness of environmental concerns.
In addition, the grand prize lucky draw — always one of the most anticipated highlights of DRT SHOW — will proceed as planned. Simply visit the DRT SHOW Taiwan Diving Expo between June 18 and 24 for a chance to win prizes including a dive computer, mask, fins, and equipment bag.
This edition of the DRT SHOW Taiwan Virtual Expo marks the 40th diving expo since DRT SHOW held its inaugural International Diving & Resort Tourism Exhibition in Hong Kong in 2010. Alongside its bold new format, DRT SHOW will also bring fresh surprises, aiming to inject new energy and hope into a dive market that has long been holding its breath.
"We believe the market has not disappeared — it has only been delayed. We have always been here, and we look forward to meeting everyone again soon and witnessing together the new rise of Asia's dive market," said DRT SHOW CEO Chang Hsu-Wu.
Since its successful debut in Hong Kong in 2010, DRT SHOW has gone on to hold events in major Asian cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Taipei (Taiwan), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Manila (Philippines), Okinawa (Japan), Singapore, and Mumbai (India). The show serves more than 1,300 exhibitors each year, making it the largest diving expo in Asia. This year's DRT SHOW Taiwan Diving Expo is the 40th edition of DRT SHOW and its first-ever virtual presentation, delivering an innovative, zero-distance interactive experience that is expected to attract more than 100,000 domestic and international visitors from around the world.
