CONGRATULATIONS! The UAE has won the honor of hosting World Expo 2020
After a thrilling night of voting in Paris, Dubai has won the right to host the World Expo 2020
In a strong showing that was only to be expected, the UAE beat the competition in the crucial voting rounds to grab the rights to host Expo 2020.
The World Expos, held every five years, is a trade exhibition that attracts millions of visitors to the host country. The UAE made it clear early in its campaign that it was determined to host the event.
Dubai set the tone for their win in the very first round of voting, leading all other aspirants, including heavyweights Russia and Turkey.
The UAE’s performance improved with each vote. They improved their first round showing of 77 votes by gaining 10 more votes in the second round, while heavyweights Russia improved by only two. This gave credence to the fact that any political manoeuvrings that had been expected by countries had been negated by the sheer confidence of the UAE’s performance.
