A truly outstanding World Expo is opening its doors for the next six months. The best possible signal that international holidays and business networking are back, and that Dubai is once more the place to go!

Like many other major international events, Expo 2020 Dubai is now actually 2021. In fact, the ‘World’s Greatest Show’ opens its doors on October 1st and continues through to March 31st 2022.

The theme this year is ‘Connecting Minds and Creating the Future’ through sustainability, mobility, and opportunity. All of which suggests a huge blast of positivity after a truly awful 18 months worldwide.

It also promises to be extremely popular, making it important to book your Expo ticket, arrange travel to Dubai and find accommodation for the World Expo as quickly as possible.

Clearly, the next six months are also the best time to book holidays in Dubai. You can enjoy a truly unmissable event – held every five years – that showcases innovations and vital developments from across the planet.

Why visit The Dubai Expo?

Where do we even start, in describing what to expect at Expo 2020 Dubai!

Dubai is renowned for being one step ahead, in terms of architecture, fine dining, leisure activities, holiday experiences and a wide range of other things that attract visitors from across the globe.

So, naturally, the Expo is going to be expansive and impressive. This city does everything on a huge scale and with seamless efficiency.

There are over 190 pavillions, many of which have been designed with young people in mind – so there will be loads of child friendly activities, workshops, shows and interactive exhibits!

The Dubai Expo theme – Connecting Minds and Creating the Future – means you can certainly expect demonstrations of mind-blowing technology and world-leading innovations and how they are being applied to global issues. Including sustainability and climate change. One of the many Dubai Expo highlights is a chance to wander through deserts, waterfalls and rainforests.

Booking tickets for Dubai Expo also enables you to see emerging tech is bringing the digital and physical worlds together by the world’s top computer science experts.

All threaded by a continuous stream of experiences from across The Arts, Entertainment, Sports and Food.

Doing business at Dubai Expo

Though the Expo is superb for anyone on holiday in Dubai, it also represents potentially the most fruitful international business networking opportunity for years.

The event describes itself as “your unique global platform to attract investments, forge agreements and promote international cooperation.” This is no idle boast!

There are multiple ways to meet, mingle and collaborate with important decision-makers, innovators and logistics experts. There is even a Business Matching App to set up initial meetings and sales presentations before you arrive at Expo Dubai.

This is also an important opportunity to explore ways to do business in Dubai too and make contacts in the fast-developing economy serving around 3.5 billion people in the MEASA region.
