france24: It's unfortunate that it fell short of the pre-event objective of 25 million visitors, which looked achievable after the last weekend's record-breaking one million visits each day.

After a surge in visitors in the closing weeks of the world's fair, Expo 2020 Dubai attracted more than 24 million visitors during its six-month run.

It's unfortunate that it fell short of the pre-event objective of 25 million visitors, which looked achievable after last weekend's record-breaking one million visits each day.

Major attractions were the site's 200-plus pavilions, which included those from 192 countries.

The last weeks of the festival saw long lines forming at some of the most popular pavilions as people eagerly awaited another chance to explore the grounds.

In terms of international visitors, India was the most popular country, followed by Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, and the United States, respectively.

With the Season Pass, 70 percent of visitors entered the park, and 49 percent of those visitors were repeated. The Expo's organizers offered a Dh50 Season Finale Pass for the last 50 days, and it was a big hit with attendees.

According to Expo, 22% of attendees purchased a single-day ticket and 8% purchased a multi-day pass. 18% of the visitors were children under the age of 18. Over a million students took part in the Expo Schools Program, which was temporarily halted due to an increase in coronavirus illnesses during the month of January.

The oldest guest was 98 years old, according to the event's organizers, who indicated that 3 percent of all visitors were senior folks. There were 107,000 visits from differently-abled people, and almost 200 million virtual visits were made.

Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Mehad Hamad, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lewis Hamilton, and the annual World Government Summit all contributed to the surge in attendance, according to a report.

On Thursday, the event came to an end with a stunning closing ceremony, star-studded concerts, and breathtaking firework displays. People all throughout the UAE and visitors from other countries were captivated by the celebration of cultures, innovation, and resourcefulness.

In the second half of the six-month spectacular, weekly visitor numbers reached 1 million, as fans made the most of their opportunity to enjoy the carnival atmosphere.

One in three visitors to Expo 2020 came from outside of the United States, according to new data given by the expo on Saturday. Visitors came from 178 different nations, according to the event's organizers.
