They create global interest and attract people from all over the world to visit this multi cultural environment and exhibition.
Shanghai World Expo 2010
Shanghai is the major city expected to host the Expos for a while. Lots of scholars have written about this and made suggestions in their books. Unsanctioned participation in exhibitions outside China has happened since 1851. In 1910, the Qing dynasty was determined to host China's primary fair with the 1910 Nanyang industrialized exposition although it was on an extremely smaller scale compared to the modern Shanghai 2010 Expo.
The Shanghai World Expo will be held from May 1 to October 31, a six month period, on the 1300 acres of land near the Huangpu River in China. The major building planned for the mission is the Expo Axis which is the world’s largest membrane structure built towards the end of 2009. This exposition is going to be the first registered exposition in a developing country and is believed to become one of the world’s biggest exhibitions. The countries which are participating in the Shanghai World Expo will be around 200 and the visitors, according to the estimates of the organizers in the pavilion, almost 70 to 90 million strong. This will certainly be a great event.
