The event was attended by approximately 250 people, including Lee Donghwan, Mayor of Goyang Special City, local members of the National Assembly, and the Chairperson of the Goyang City Council, who gathered to share the significance of advancing this project.

Mayor Lee emphasized, "The groundbreaking of the KINTEX Anchor Hotel is not just about expanding accommodation facilities; it marks a crucial turning point in strengthening the global competitiveness of Korea's MICE industry. Built upon the achievements of Goyang Special City and KINTEX, which serve as the hub for numerous international conferences, exhibitions, and industrial exchanges, this hotel will become a stepping stone for a new leap forward."

The KINTEX Anchor Hotel, a four-star property with 300 rooms scheduled for completion in the first half of 2029, is expected to provide a convenient and high-quality lodging environment for international event participants and visitors. At the same time, it is anticipated to invigorate the local economy by revitalizing commercial districts, creating jobs, and expanding tourism and investment.

Alongside the hotel construction, the city is also actively promoting the development of the KINTEX Exhibition Hall 3. The new exhibition hall will expand the scale and functions of the existing venues to create a world-class exhibition space, serving as a key driver for Goyang Special City to firmly establish itself as an international exhibition and convention hub.

Mayor Lee stated, "Goyang Special City will focus its administrative capabilities to ensure that major MICE infrastructure, including the Anchor Hotel, is implemented without delay. We will do our utmost to help the city grow into a comprehensive MICE destination where industry and culture coexist and continue to thrive."
