How the venue is chosen for Esperanto Congress ?

Kiel la loko por esperanta kongreso estas elektita ? Ni devu pensi pri tio.

After writing the Vietnam post of the UK and someone told me, nope, ask me how the venue of the esperanto is chosen. I did not know.

But according to the UEA site, it has certain rules to follow but alas one of the item did not list down is the place should have certain number of Esperanto speakers.

The UEA site list the venue should have:

The venue

Universal Congresses of Esperanto have been held in all types of facilities: convention centres, concert halls, hotels and fairs convention premises, universities etc. But, considering the size of the Congress, UEA prefers to hold its congresses in multifunctional and self-sufficient enviroments and in premisses located rather in the downtowns or in their vicinity than out of the cores of the cities.
UEA tries to organize a congress outside Europe every 3 to 4 years, in order to support the movement in other continents, and inside of Europe to migrate equitably between southern, northern, eastern and western and central regions of the old continent.

But, if the participants go to the congress and just walk about the place without meeting the people in the town or city who can converse in Esperanto, one question, does this mean that it is the promoting the Esperanto ?

For my hamble opinion, I think it should be a town or a city which has a sizeble residents who speak Esperanto. I asked an Esperantist about the Ho Chi Min city for the last KS in vetnam and he told me that the people in the area do not speak Esperanto, but English.

If i do not speak English, presume, i also quite hard to understand Vietnamese English, I would feel very lost and inconvience. The purpose of promoting the use of International Language is faded.

Therefore, now, I think for Asia Esperanto Congress or even the ASEAN Esperanto Ccongress, it should base on the host to suggest  which village or town that has big number of esperanto speakers to organise it. By doing so, we can let the people know that the advantage of learning the Esperanto. Partially the power of economy too. Thus we created the VSM.

What is the advantage that the participants are kept in the University dorms or nearby hotel without the chance of meeting the local people and have some shopping trip to provide the locals with some financial aids through the shopping events.

I am pretty sure there are many people don't agree to that, they would ask, where I could find a town which have half of the people speaking Esperanto. This would be the fun question and also the answer.

You do your search with Esperanto town and you can have the answer.
