What is a World Expo?
A world expo is huge public exhibition, where countries gather to display showpieces that conform to a particular theme.
Countries from across the globe gather to attend the expos. Many of them build pavilions – something that is often seen as a highlight of the event. These pavilions can be permanent structures that can offer visitors an insight into what a global village might look like. Architecturally, at least.
The Host with the Most
A number of countries compete to win the chance to host the world expo. Winning the right to hold the event means that a country might boost its economy and improve the its value as a brand.
Each country that bids to host the expo chooses a theme for the event. These themes are chosen by the country and can be based on anything. The theme the countries choose, and how well they realize that theme in the campaign, can play a part in whether they win the chance to host the expo.
