Expo 2010 Shanghai China is essentially an international exhibition. While highlight of the fair, to gain access to 189 countries structures, called “Flags”, the architecture, style and theme pavilions, and these exhibitions, presentations and a variety of programming in flags. There are many organizations and companies to participate in the Expo pavilions by the construction in relation to their interests.
The main purpose of the Expo is to show what it is that every country in the hope that individuals or companies from other countries decide to be impressed and to provide business to perform in this country.
For example, Switzerland has a pavilion, which presents its diversity, the Swiss Alps, and the high quality of life in Switzerland. Cuban will focus what they are famous, cigars and cocktails. I think everyone knows what you find in the pavilions sponsored enterprises.
The architecture, themes and displays inside the pavilion, all to promote the advantages of different countries. In principle, countries try to “brand” or sell “the world with the hope that it will bring more opportunities for their country.
Despite the impressive architecture of the pavilion alone would justify a visit to the Expo 2010, you can also see Kung Fu performances, parades, music shows, entertainment and much more. The site of the Expo 2010 covers more than 2 square miles and is situated on the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai. The Expo will run from 1 May 2010 to 31st October 2010.
The exhibition is similar to the Olympics in some respects. They are both competing at the global and cities around the world to become the host city for events. The Olympic Games take place every two years, but World Expo is every 5 years. The Expo runs from 6 months actually much longer than the Olympic Games.
The city chosen to host a world exposition will receive similar benefits as the host of the Olympic Games. Some benefits are global exposure, improving the global situation, the tourism revenue, and to address improvements in the city the millions of expected visitors. Many people say that the costs outweigh the potential benefits and costs of the event, but I leave that debate for another time.
The theme of the Expo “Better City, Better Life”, and most of the topics are focused on sustainability, improved quality of life and other positive news, urban growth. Expo 2010 offers a good opportunity to get other countries to see what they are on what they consider important and how they focus on different topics.
