eTurboNews, an American website specializing in travel and tourism news, considered that if the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by its capital, Riyadh, wins hosting the World Expo 2030, it will be a big deal for Saudi youth. Saudi Arabia’s hosting of Expo 2030 is a major event for several reasons, including tourism, and Vision 2030, which is considered the main driver for the Kingdom to do its best and achieve victory. The real competition: The winning city to host the World Expo 2030 will be chosen at a crucial meeting held by the Bureau International des Expositions in Paris tomorrow. Offers were made by Rome, the capital of Italy, the Saudi capital, Riyadh, and Busan, the second largest city in South Korea.
While the situation was calm in Italy depending on the support of the European Union after the June meeting, the real competition appears to be taking place between the cities of Busan, Korea, and Riyadh, according to the site. The Italian city of Milan succeeded in holding the World Expo 2015. Rome will be the second Italian city competing to host the World Expo, which some people find unfair. Fierce fighting: Busan, Korea, is fighting hard, proudly showing the support just announced by its neighbor Japan. Meanwhile, South Korean Prime Minister Han Dak-soo took off from Incheon International Airport in Seoul yesterday, heading to Paris. The Prime Minister expressed his optimism before his departure
The result of the vote of the 182 member states at the BIE will be revealed tomorrow, Tuesday, November 28. According to the report, this decision carries great importance, especially for Riyadh and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, because it represents an opportunity for them to assert their influence on the global stage. Why is Expo 2030 Riyadh more important for Saudi Arabia? The report pointed out that the rapid progress in the Kingdom and modernization efforts have received attention, especially the change campaign led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The report warned that hosting the World Expo 2030 is a big deal for Saudi youth.
The “Riyadh 2030” event was held near the Eiffel Tower, which was built for the World’s Fair in 1889. In addition, advertisements appeared on taxis in Paris, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was in France for a week, participating in meetings with high-ranking officials. France supported Saudi Arabia’s request last year, so the Saudis did not have to make any effort to gain their support. The Republic of Montenegro also publicly supported its vote in favor of Expo 2030 Riyadh. Tourist Attractions: Tourism relations are a big reason why many countries committed to voting Expo 2030 in favor of Riyadh. The first ever meeting of Caribbean countries was held in the Kingdom more than a week ago
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia opened its doors to Western tourism only in 2019. The report pointed out that when many countries did not know how to save tourism, one country was doing more than just talking. This country was Saudi Arabia. It was spending a lot of money to save the global travel and tourism industry – and this was not just a first response. When UNWTO member states needed help in 2021, Saudi Arabia did not hesitate to provide billions in assistance. This has built many friendships, trust and appreciation even before the 2030 World Expo came into question. The Saudi Crown Prince’s Vision 2030 was guiding every project in the Kingdom, including a dozen or more tourism-related mega projects, such as NEOM, the Red Sea Project, and Riyadh Aviation. The report indicated that the year 2030 was set by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a timetable for achieving the vision’s goals. This was also the case before the World Expo 2030 segment was drawn up
Winning the Expo 2030 Riyadh segment would complete these goals. The main developments expected if Riyadh wins the organization of World Expo 2030: 1. An unprecedented edition to create a unique exhibition that will be a model for future Expos. 2. The first environmentally friendly exhibition that sets the highest standards of sustainability. 3. $335 million will be allocated to support more than 100 developing countries. 4. There are 27 projects and initiatives supporting the participating countries under implementation. 5. It is planned to build 70,000 new hotel rooms in Riyadh, specifically for the exhibition.
