The implementation plan covers the entire scope of the expo, including exhibition production, event operations, venue setup, and safety management. It contains specific measures designed to enhance on-site applicability.

In particular, the core focus of the exhibition production is on effectively conveying the vitality and future value of seaweed. Media productions, a variety of interactive experiences, and story-based spatial design have been significantly enhanced.

The county is closely inspecting and refining the completeness of the productions and the flow of the exhibition to maximize visitor immersion. The plan is to create a natural flow in the exhibition layout according to visitor movement and to maximize visual effects, thereby clearly differentiating the expo from others.

In the areas of event operations and venue setup, the county is prioritizing visitor convenience and satisfaction. To encourage longer stays, more hands-on programs will be offered, on-site response systems will be further strengthened, and additional photo zones and information facilities will be installed throughout the venue.

Most importantly, safety management is being thoroughly addressed. The county will focus on managing areas expected to draw large crowds, deploy professional security personnel, conduct a comprehensive inspection of all facilities, and establish a rapid emergency response system. These preemptive and multi-layered safety measures are aimed at preventing accidents.

A Wando County official emphasized, "We will deliver a high-quality expo through continued on-site inspections and ongoing improvements during the remaining period."

Meanwhile, the "2026 Pre Wando International Seaweed Expo" is expected to showcase the limitless future potential of the seaweed industry and present the vision for the marine healing and marine bio industries that Wando County is actively pursuing. The county anticipates that this expo will serve as a pivotal foundation for Wando's emergence as a truly global marine city.
