On October 1, visitors waited in line for hours before the gates at the Sustainability Entry Portal opened, having traveled from all over the UAE and the world to be among the first to experience Expo 2020.
Since then, Expo 2020 Dubai has welcomed 771,477 ticketed visitors.
With an average of 50,000 visitors per day, the event is on track to attract approximately nine million visitors during its six-month run.
Almost half of all visitors have a season pass, with over 100,000 people visiting the site twice and over 35,000 coming three times during the first 15 days, highlighting the variety of attractions available at the largest event ever held in the Arab world.
To date, visitors to the World Expo – the first ever held in the Middle East – have come from 181 different nationalities, only 11 fewer than the 192 countries that are taking part in the event, each with their own pavilion.
All ticket holders are included in the figures, but representatives, delegations, and guests of International Participants, partners, and other stakeholders, as well as staff, are not.
Expo 2020 Dubai will be open until March, with over 200 pavilions and countless other attractions to explore, as well as up to 60 events per day, including panel discussions, cultural performances, and much more.
The number of virtual visitors to Expo 2020 Dubai has risen to 9.3 million since October 1st, up from 7.8 million the previous week, bringing the event to a global digital audience.
