More than 50 days before its opening, a Filipino woman has taken the first spot in line for Expocruz 2026, Bolivia's premier international trade fair. Crissy Lim, equipped with a traditional sao hat and products from her own business, is patiently waiting for the September event, demonstrating remarkable dedication.

The Expocruz fair, set to run from September 18 to 27 at the Fexpocruz grounds, is highly anticipated in Santa Cruz and across Bolivia. It serves as a crucial platform for businesses, entrepreneurs, investors, and institutions to engage in commerce, foster innovation, and promote economic activity.

Lim, a citizen of the Philippines, explained her motivation for arriving so early. She expressed her fondness for Santa Cruz, particularly its warm climate and the amicable nature of its residents. These factors, she stated, inspired her to secure her place well in advance for the significant event.

Organizers from Fexpocruz confirmed the dates for the ten-day fair, which is expected to draw national and international participants. Expocruz is recognized as a vital economic hub, offering opportunities for networking and business development within the country.
