If UAE's bid for the
World Expo 2020 goes in their favor, it could lead to huge jump for the
country's travel industry. The travel and tourism experts believe that if the
UAE manages to win the bid, it could open a massive investment gateway for its
travel and tourism sector.
The World Expo is one of the largest international events
organized for more than 150 years, and takes place every 5 years, lasting up to
six months. Gassan Aridi, CEO of Alpha
Tours says, "The World Expo is the
busiest exhibition in the world and is said to attract the largest number of
visitors worldwide". He also mentioned that if UAE manages to secure the
bid for the 2020 expo, then the exhibition alone is likely to attract more than
half a million visitors from across the globe.
Following the orders of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of
Dubai, a high ranking delegation visited Paris recently to discuss UAE's World
Expo 2020 bid with officials and members of the International Bureau of
Exhibitions.
The winning bid, for which four other countries — Brazil,
Turkey, Russia and Thailand - are also competing, is due to be announced in
2013.
