It will be used as the EXPO 2012 Yeosu Memorial Hall after the end of the EXPO.
A series of pavilions dealing with more segmented sub-themes on human activities related to the ocean and the coast will add to the variety of the EXPO and enrich visitors’ understanding of the marine environment.
The International Organizations Pavilion, the Local Governments Pavilion, Marine Robot Pavilion, the Individual Company Pavilions , Korea Shipping & Ports Pavilion and many other exhibition facilities will enhance the participation of both public and private sectors.
