Wuhan, known for its extensive water resources, is home to the largest cluster of aquatic organism research institutions, freshwater fisheries, and ecosystem studies both in China and globally. Its selection as the first inland city to host the IAC underscores its rich aquatic research resources and scientific heritage, cementing its status as a major inland metropolis.

A member of the IAC Steering Committee noted that HHAn-Wuhan Polar Ocean Park was selected for several reasons, including Wuhan's and China's dedication to environmental protection and biodiversity, as well as the park's exceptional facilities, biological exhibits, and advanced breeding and conservation practices. Notably, the Committee was impressed by HHAn Entertainment's strong commitment to its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles and its CSR philosophy of "Being Kind for Harmonious Coexistence".

Tan Wencheng, General Manager of HHAn-Wuhan Polar Ocean Park, underscored the park's unwavering commitment to the development of Wuhan over the past 13 years, growing in tandem with the city. The popular attraction stands out for its scale, population size, water volume, biological exhibits, and sophisticated breeding and conservation methods. As the largest ocean-themed integrated resort and key urban tourism landmark in central China, HHAn-Wuhan Polar Ocean Park is preparing to construct a 2,000-square-meter science education museum in time for the upcoming conference. The museum, themed around aquatic organisms in the Yangtze River basin and focusing on freshwater ecological protection, aims to lead Yangtze River ecological conservation efforts through public science education and outreach initiatives. Its mission is to engage a broader audience and encourage them to participate in efforts to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of aquatic biodiversity and to protect the Yangtze River.
