The World Exhibition is a global event, comparable in interest and importance only to the Olympics. After it, unique structures remain that arouse the keen interest of tourists. Expo-2020 will be held in Dubai. Millions of people want to know when showcasing technical and technological advances begins and ends.

A bit of history

You can understand the scale that the once chamber Parisian undertaking took on the few symbols that remained in the venues.

The first exhibition left the Crystal Palace in London. The result of the 1889 exposition in Paris was the Eiffel Tower, which later became the symbol of the capital of France and its most widespread logo.

The World Exhibitions have their own history, divided into three periods. Over time, character and specialization have gone through some changes:

• at first, the goal was to demonstrate innovations in technology, made by progressive discoveries and developments, and this period was called "industrialization";
• then more global goals were outlined for humanity, the themes of the exhibitions were the achievement of peace and mutual understanding, cultural exchange between nations, forecasting and changing the future, a period began, later called cultural exchange;
• Since 1988, expositions have begun, which have become a means for countries to demonstrate their own achievements and improve the image of the state. They are held to this day under the general name "National Branding".

Despite the cost of the project for each participant, and especially for the organizer, a struggle is invariably going on for the right to conduct, which is often acute.

Brazil and Russia, Turkey and Thailand wanted to host Expo-2020, but the Bureau of International Exhibitions, by the results of a vote, gave the palm to the UAE.

Expo-2020 will be officially held in Dubai. Millions of tourists from all over the world intend to visit the United Arab Emirates during the period when the next World Expo 2020 begins and ends.

Scope, goals, dates

The authorities of the Emirates intend to place the main expositions of Expo-2020 on an area of 438 hectares, located between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This will be the central square and three thematic areas dedicated to investments in different areas of human activity, symbolically named so: "Opportunities", "Mobility", "Sustainability".

The main focus of World Expo 2020 is on global financial investments. The topic is of interest to representatives of many sectors of the world economy in countries with different levels, therefore the UAE became the winner of the competition.

For comparison, Russia proposed to make Yekaterinburg the venue, and the motto of the exhibition - "Global Mind: Humanity in a Single Dialogue." Russia lost all three rounds of voting to the Emirates, although it was invariably the second contender. Turkish Izmir was eliminated after the second round, Sao Paulo after the first.

The dates for the start and end of the World Expo 2020 in Dubai have already been announced. The start is scheduled for October 20, but the exhibition could be called Expo 2020-2021, because it will last until April 10, 2021.

This is 6 months, during which visitors to the World Exhibition from more than 20 countries will be able to familiarize themselves with the central part and three thematic sectors. The interest when World Expo 2020 starts and ends is due to the scale of the preparation:

• a round-the-clock construction of the District city is already underway, equipped with new technologies aimed at the convenience of citizens and creating a high level of comfort for them;
• it will contain structures to ensure the preservation of the environment;
• the airport is being modernized for the exhibition, which the organizers plan to make the largest in the world;
• the modern metro, which is being built specifically for visitors, is equipped with an unmanned automated control system;
• there will be large-scale installations, a festival of world cuisine, an exhibition of works of art, performances by world stars, colorful shows.

Investments and financial bonuses interested the exhibition committee more than mutual understanding between peoples. The International Monetary Fund is confident that World Expo 2020 will boost the GDP of the United Arab Emirates.
