Asia-Pacific's largest and most comprehensive homeland security and counter-terrorism conference and exhibition, Global Security Asia (GSA) 2011, will be held at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre, Singapore from 15th to 17th March 2011. The fourth in the Series, the Conference theme, "Prevention and Protection - Safeguarding People, Property and Infrastructure", is particularly pertinent with the increasing focus especially in Asia on security with a view to preserving the economic stability and success of the region.

"How to ensure the security of a nation's citizens, property and infrastructure in the midst of continuing economic growth will be a major topic of the GSA 2011 Conference" explained Andrew Marriott, Managing Director, GSA Exhibitions Pte Ltd, exhibition organisers.

The organisers also say that according to research, global government current expenditure on homeland security exceeded USD 178 billion. Furthermore, the forecast expenditure for the period 2010 - 2020 is USD2.7 trillion. Research also suggests that in this period the Asia Pacific region will contribute circa 21% to the global homeland security expenditure.
