EXHIBITION VENUE OPERATION PLAN
1. Basic Concept
For the exhibition venue operations, the operation style unique to the International Garden
Horticulture Exhibition is established based on “Safety”, “Comfort” and “Smmothness/Effortless”.
Since the exhibition venue operations are supported by the “people”, the concept of “Flora Friends”
was introduced. This “Flora Friends” concept denotes a modus operandi akin to “nourishing and
blooming” closer interpersonal relationships by developing a “heartfelt effort” based on “trust,
efffection, kindness, care and cooperation”.
The policy for the venue operation plan was set as “Contribute to... ‘creating a new harmony’,
‘Creating a new relationship’, ‘Creating a new lifestyle’, ‘Love the river, the source of life’ by all
people involved in International Garden & River Festival (IGARF). To materialise this policy, all the
personnel involved need to share this common conciousness; to that end, the policy is generally
termed ”Ambrassador to IGARF” ; in Malay, Duta IGARF.
In addition, the exhibition is aimed at venue operations adopting “a universal design and
senior-citizen-friendly participation by Manjung district residents and information technology” for
visitors or personnel concerned.

9. Events Fields
When planning for the first international garden festival in the tropics the real concern is the collective
forces of the sun, people and rain. To provide a design day for an average of 50,000 visitors with absolute
comfort and further consideration for peak day attendance of 100,000 visitors with consequent reduction
of comfort level.
The peak day sets the standard and parameters for heat and rain protection, evacuation time, walkway
width, maximum permissible discomfort in queuing and waiting anywhere on site.
It suggests the requirement for more than 45,000 sq. meters of exhibition pavilions, temperature
controlled under covered space with other indoor facilities for rest areas, food & beverages, sales of goods
and services.
Covered areas will be evenly distributed in designated zones throughout the festival site, using
wood-based structures, preassembled steel frames and expanded roof designs, light weight wall cladding
and limited amount of relocatable tent components.
IGARF will be opened from 5th December 2009 to 30th May 2010, for 178 days inclusive of 54 weekends
and ten (10) public holidays. The site will be opened daily from 10.00.am to 10.00 pm and extended to
12.00 midnight on Saturdays and holiday eves. High frequency is expected from 4.00-8.00 pm.
IGARF is expected to attract 6.0 million visitations including 2.0 million from Singapore, Thailand, Brunei,
Indonesia, India, China, the Philippines, Middle East and others.

coin operated lockers, operator outlets, two surau (prayer places) and ablution rooms.

following plan was decised based on feedback from various sectors including travel agencies.
