Visit a World Exhibition and experience the fantastic variety of the world.
Today’s world exhibitions – or colloquially, EXPOs – have gone through a process of modernisation during the last decade and have now become important meeting places focusing on intercultural dialogue and the exchange of solutions to global issues. They are also a useful tool for branding cities, regions, and countries. The increasing interest for hosting world exhibitions is reflected by the growing number of member states in the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), which at present time is 157 countries.
At a World Exhibition you will have the opportunity to learn about all the participating countries by visiting their exhibitions and restaurants, as well as meeting their representatives. In addition, on a daily basis, you can gain knowledge of the cultural and culinary capacity of the host country.
EXPO is infotainment
Just like the Olympic Games and the world football championship, EXPO is organised by a host city / host country and attracts, on average, the same number of participating countries and visitors. But EXPO is not only good entertainment; it is infotainment, and the major attractions are the national pavilions.
