A key highlight of BCT Expo 2024 was its highly successful "Business-Matching Program", that saw over 520 pre-arranged business meetings between pre-qualified hosted buyers and exhibitors. This program allowed exhibitors to pre-schedule one-to-one meetings with their targeted buyers.

Mr. Kannapak Taweeyos, Business Development Manager, Channakorn Engineering Co., Ltd., said "This year marks our 3^rd year of participation in BCT Expo. The numbers and quality of attendees clearly make it a worthwhile marketing investment for us to continue to exhibit in BCT Expo."

This year's BCT Expo 2025 continues to bring together leading exhibitors and trade attendees from around the world, focusing on 10 key industry clusters, namely 1. Construction Vehicles, 2. Mining, Lifting, Earthmoving & Demolition, 3. Roads & Infrastructure, Component & Service Suppliers, 4. Concrete Products, 5. Building Materials, 6. Construction Services, 7. Digital & Smart Construction, 8. Smart Facility Management, and 9. Sustainable Construction & 10. Green Building Materials.  

Trade attendees will have opportunities to discover cutting-edge solutions and innovations while engaging with experts on latest trends, best practices, challenges and issues. In addition, there will also be trade certification courses conducted by key trade associations for industry professionals.

The ASEAN construction industry is undergoing a digital transformative phase, driven by emerging technologies and innovations aimed at improving efficiency, sustainability and cost effectiveness. The region's construction market size revenue is projected to reach US$538.5 billion in 2024, and expected to grow at a CAGR rate of 7.5% from 2023 to 2028, driven by a demand shift towards Smart and Sustainable infrastructure developments, with technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), AI and Robotics playing key roles in shaping the future of the industry.

In supporting these trends, BCT Expo 2025 is introducing its "Sustainable Construction Showcase Zone" aims at showcasing and discussing the latest cutting-edge green technologies and trends, ranging from Eco-Friendly Building Materials, Energy-Efficient Construction Technology, Smart IoT and AI Driven Applications to Green Mining Solutions.

Ms. Pailin Thiansuwan, Advisor to Thailand's Ministry of Industry, said "BCT Expo's sustainability and green transition agenda is aligned with our government priorities, aims to foster collaboration between public and private sectors to raise our national construction standards to be in line with Thailand's industry 4.0 agenda. We expect BCT Expo 2025 to introduce new innovations to support our SMEs in the construction sector so as to enhance their competitiveness, while stimulating investments in environmentally friendly construction technologies."

The construction industry faces a variety of challenges that can impact project delivery, cost, quality and safety. These challenges include labor shortages, cost escalation, supply chain disruptions, safety concerns, quality control, regulatory compliance, sustainability and environmental impacts, technology integration and automation, increasing project complexity,  just to name a few.

Hence, BCT Expo 2025 aims to bring together the entire Southeast Asian construction industry to network, learn, share and address these issues. Over 40 insightful conference sessions, workshops, and certification courses are scheduled to be conducted by over 30 local and international industry experts and gurus over 3 days.

Attendees will get to stay ahead of the curve in an industry that is increasingly driven by digitalization, automation, and sustainability with topics such as AI and Robotics in Construction, The Future of Construction Equipment, Building Information Modelling, SMART Facility Management, Green Mining, ESG for Building, Construction and Mining, Green Construction Transitions, Construction Laws and Regulations Updates, just to name a few.

The use of AI & Robotics in construction is expected to become mainstream by 2027 to include autonomous equipment for excavation and bricklaying. In addition, the adoption of drones for surveying, monitoring and safety inspection is gaining ground, especially in areas where safety and efficiency are paramount concerns.

Addressing the above issues, BCT Expo 2025 is conducting hands-on and skill upgrading certification courses in AI & Robotics Automation in Construction, Drone Operation for Surveying and Safety Inspection, and not forgetting the highly popular Construction Safety Certification Training Course.

Ms. Peerayaphan Pongsanam, Assistant Director of IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd, the organizer said, "Building on the success of our previous editions, we are motivated to create yet another exciting platform for industry players to come together to do business, share ideas, and forge new partnerships, while advancing sustainable practices and digital transformations within the industry."

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda reveals that Vietnam is becoming an increasingly popular year-end travel choice for families in the region and beyond. Based on searches made between September and November 2025 for stays during December 2025 and January 2026, Agoda recorded a 30% increase in family travel interest to Vietnam compared with the same period the previous year.

Agoda data shows that Vietnam is attracting more international families than ever this winter holiday season. South Koreans take the lead as the top market interested in traveling to Vietnam in December and January, with families from India, Singapore, Australia, and Malaysia rounding out the top five. Notably, Agoda reported that Indian families showcased the highest growth in travel interest to Vietnam during this period, with a 186% increase in searches. Malaysians also, are expressing strong growth in interest, with a 74% increase in searches, highlighting Vietnam's appeal as a family destination in Southeast Asia and beyond.

Families are choosing Vietnam for its storied culture and cuisine, diverse landscapes, and abundance of family-friendly resorts and attractions.

Phu Quoc Island leads as the most sought-after destination among international family travelers with a 47% increase in searches, popular for its sandy beaches, calm waters, and nature parks ideal for multi-generation vacations. Da Nang follows with 42% growth in travel interest, noted for its beaches, soft adventure activities, and access to Ba Na Hills theme park. Nha Trang comes in third place, remaining a favorite for its long coastline, family-oriented resorts, and island experiences. In fourth place, Ho Chi Minh City appeals with its vibrant food scene, entertainment complexes, and day trips to the Mekong Delta. In the north, Hanoi continues to draw families with its cultural landmarks, museums, and festive atmosphere, rounding out the top five most family-friendly year-end destinations in Vietnam.

Meanwhile, although Vietnamese families traditionally travel less internationally at the end of the year – typically preferring to wait for the Lunar New Year - China is becoming a noticeable exception. Among the top 20 outbound destinations preferred by Vietnamese families during the December-January period, searches for Shanghai increased 58%, while Beijing increased 59%. This shift is supported by the launch of new direct routes between Hanoi and selected Chinese cities earlier this year, making end-of-year overseas trips more accessible than ever.

Vu Ngoc Lam, Country Director at Agoda, said: "It is wonderful to see Vietnam increasingly chosen as an end-of-year holiday destination for families from across Asia and beyond. Agoda's data shows that travelers are recognizing Vietnam's family-friendly appeal, which further strengthen its position on the global travel map. As more families plan their festive-season or year-end getaways, we are delighted to support them through Agoda's simple, intuitive platform and our wide range of stays, flights, and activities."

With over 6 million properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities, all bookable in one seamless itinerary, Agoda helps families plan memorable year-end holidays, whether they choose a peaceful beach break, a cultural city escape, or an international exploration to mark the close of the year.
