At the meeting, delegates raised difficulties in organizing fairs such as: The infrastructure is still an outdoor area, there is no fair organization center, so it is very difficult to mobilize booths, call on businesses, especially businesses producing and trading high-quality goods to participate; many businesses require 100% support for booth rental or additional support for transportation costs and other costs; many low-quality fairs gradually reduce consumer confidence.
